David & Layla

In post 9/11 New York, where cultural and religious tensions are still vivid, Jonroy capture the complexities of inter-racial and inter-religious differences with humor. He manages to do so without judging anyone's personal beliefs or faith. The Jewish American TV host David is interested in Layla, a Kurdish immigrant. Faced with deportation, Layla must make a crucial life decision: to marry the witty David or the conservative Muslim Dr. Ahmed? David falls in love as he discovers that behind the mysterious Layla is an intelligent, sensitive human being, with an ancient culture that parallels David's own Jewish tradition. Selected for several film festivals in Europe and the US, David & Layla is a film with noble intentions of reviving the Kurdish cultural identity, history as well as its difficulties as an immigrant community.PONTUS MATHISSON
