A bundle of good humour and nervous energy, Ali is a British Pakistani working-class landlord whose happy-go-lucky attitude echoes through his love of music and his tenants.
When Ali connects with Ava, a pragmatic middle-aged teaching assistant, they find a gentle, warm friendship and romance – the joy of first love mixed with the contentment of a long-married couple – but overcoming preconceptions around race, age, and cultural values stir tension into their love bliss.
Featuring outstanding performances by Claire Rushbrook and Adeel Akhtar, Ali & Ava is contemporary love story deeply rooted in lived experience, serving as a reminder that sometimes the least likely connections are the ones most worth pursuing.
