SQIFF Queer Women in Love: Nina's Heavenly Delights

When young Glaswegian cook Nina returns home for her father’s funeral after three years living in London, she begins a romantic relationship with Lisa, an old childhood friend who now owns half of Nina’s late dad’s Indian restaurant, The New Taj. Together, the two lovers seek to save the restaurant from closing by conspiring to defend the national ‘Best in the West Curry Competition’ title. Nina’s mother and brother are trying to sell the Taj, however, to fellow restaurateur Raj, whose chef son Sanjay was previously left at the altar by Nina. Tensions mount as the competition date nears and the women’s passionate and sometimes stormy affair threatens to derail everything.

Screening with short Dinner For Two by Ami Nashimoto. A super cute musical in which a woman stresses over preparing something suitable and vaguely edible for her vegan, gluten-free-diet date.
