1985 film starring Daniel Day-Lewis and Gordon Warnecke, written by Hanif Kureishi and directed by Stephen Frears. The story concerns Omar, a young Pakistani man living in London, and his reunion and eventual romance with an old friend, a street punk named Johnny. The two become the caretakers and business managers of a launderette originally owned by Omar's uncle. It was ground-breaking in that it focused on both gay and racial issues.
