Room to Rent



In this streetwise, offbeat comedy we are introduced to Ali (Saïd Taghamaouil), a young Egyptian screenwriter stranded in bustling London without money, a visa or even a place to live.

More than determined to make a success of himself in London, Ali moves in with a succession of eccentric, colourful London roommates including a flamboyant gay photographer (Rupert Graves), an elderly blind woman (Anna Massey), who believes Ali is the reincarnation of her long lost lover, and Linda (Juliette Lewis), a young sexy model and Marilyn Monroe impersonator.

While Ali searches for a way to stay afloat in London, he also seeks love and belonging. Ultimately, his disastrous trials and tribulations lead him to an unexpected chance at true happiness.
