Zaynab is a thirty-something Muslim lawyer living in Chicago with her recently widowed mother, Parveen. She’s also a lesbian, and has started training in the art of Lucha libre, or Mexican wrestling – both things she would rather her mother didn’t know about. While Parveen tries finding her only daughter a suitable husband, Zaynab begins a new romance with Alma, a vivacious outgoing Mexican-American whose own mother is a retired “Luchadora”. But how will Zaynab juggle career, culture, family and romance?

Signature Move is a hilarious and heartfelt look at modern families and the complexities of love in its many forms. We are very pleased that the film’s co-writer & star Fawzia Mirza, plus her co-writer Lisa Donato, will be joining us in Cardiff to introduce the film.

There will then be a short Q&A with Fawzia & Lisa after the screening, supported by the Queer Film Network.
