My Beautiful Laundrette follows the fortunes of handsome young Omar who, together with his white English friend Johnny, takes over a run-down laundrette given to him by his rich uncle.
Together they transform it into a gaudy, neon-lit palace complete with muzak and video screens.
Against a background of racial tension and poverty in the rough London suburb, their own relationship, portrayed with tenderness and passion, blossoms to love.
