Ali & Ava

Ava, a divorced single mother and grandmother, meets Ali, a younger man from a Pakistani family. Two lonely people find a connection. Sparks begin to fly, and their relationship blossoms from friendship to something far deeper and more meaningful. But family and social pressures, as well as scars of past relationships, cast a heavy shadow over their growing love. Ali & Ava is an unassuming and measured British drama, full of warmth, human kindness, and characters that capture the heart. In short, “a compassionate and tenderly performed love story, with a musical current coursing through it. British cinema is lucky to have Clio Barnard” (Empire Magazine).
