I Can't Think Straight (Feature film)
At work in London, Tala
encounters Leyla, a young Indian woman who is dating Tala's best
friend. Tala sees something unique in the artless, clumsy,
sensitive Leyla who secretly works to become a writer, and Tala's
forthright challenges to Leyla's beliefs begins a journey of
self-awareness for Leyla. As the women fall in love, Tala's own
sense of duty and cultural restraint cause her to pull away from Leyla
and fly back to Jordan where the preparations for her own ostentatious
wedding are well under way. As family members descend and the
wedding day approaches, the pressure mounts until Tala finally cracks
and extricates herself.
Back in London, Leyla is heartbroken but learns to break free of her
own self-doubt and her parents' expectations. When Tala's best
friend and Leyla's sister help throw Tala and Leyla together again,
Tala finds that her own preconceptions of what love can be is the
final hurdle she must jump to win Leyla back.
