Synopsis
When talkative landlord Ali and hardworking single mother Ava meet during an excessively rainy day in Bradford, they immediately sense a strong bond beginning to form through their shared love of music. Although they have both been struggling with loneliness for different reasons, their new friendship soon blossoms into romance but they hesitate to start a relationship for a number of reasons, not least of which the social and cultural barriers that exist in their working class town. Unable to ignore their feelings for long, they soon find themselves caught between familial pressure, racial prejudice and the need for companionship. Telling a blissfully romantic and often underrepresented love story between older, working class adults, Ali & Ava is an ode to the north of England and the unflappable journey of falling in love.
