About Joyland
Set in bustling Lahore, this vibrantly shot and beautifully observed story of impossible love exposes prejudices and societal conventions that are slowly tearing a family apart. On the surface, the Ranases are a functional, patriarchal family, yearning for the birth of a baby boy to continue the family line. However, everything changes when their youngest son secretly joins an erotic dance theatre and falls for an ambitious trans starlet.
