Set in a Pakistani community of London, My Beautiful Laundrette follows the fortunes of handsome young Omar who, together with his English friend Johnny, takes over a run-down laundrette given to him by his rich uncle.
Together Johnny and Omar transform the laundrette into a gaudy, neon-lit palace complete with muzak and video screens.
Against a background of racial tension and poverty, their own relationship, portrayed with tenderness and passion, blossoms to love.
