My Beautiful Laundrette 1985

Omar (Gordon Warnecke) is a young Pakistani man living in the economic whirlwind of Thatcher's London. Unable to get a job that will satisfy his demanding father, he finds himself running a laundrette owned by his entrepreneur uncle. One night, he ends up taunted by racist skinheads, but recognizes one of them as his old schoolfriend, Johnny (Daniel Day-Lewis). Johnny comes to help Omar with the laundrette and slowly they rekindle their old fling, but can their friendship, and love, endure the pressures of Omar's Pakistani family as well as the racism of 80s Britain?
