Touch of Pink

This movie is the feature-length debut of canadian poet and scriptwriter Ian Iqbal Rashid. It’s about the confrontation of two different cultures: Alim (Jimi Mistry, known e.g. from The Truth about Love) is Muslim like all of his family, he is gay, he has a boyfriend and his mother is coming to visit him in London. Fortunately, he has an adviser – the spirit of Cary Grant performed by Kyle MacLachlan (Blue Velvet, Twin Peaks). MacLachlan got the Genie Award for best performance in a supporting role.
