A stranded group of people in rural Iowa find themselves held captive by a deranged, excommunicated Amish family.

After a painful divorce from her wife, Sid goes on a girls' weekend with her three besties - who are horrified to discover she has never tried therapy. Through a series of absurd (and sometimes musical) flashbacks, the night unravels as each attempts to convince Sid that only by sharing her struggles will she finally be free of them. A queer comedic romp into the nightmarish challenges of finding the "right" therapist, THERAPY WON'T KILL YOU is a trippy and whimsical whirlwind, bending genre at every turn.

Cultural identity, women’s independence and the pressure to conform to British norms are the subjects of this bold and acute feature, which explores both British-Asian experience and the plight of recent immigrants. Rita Wolf (My Beautiful Laundrette), plays Majdhar, a Pakistani woman who transforms herself in London after her husband leaves her for another woman. While Majdhar feels her way towards confident self-determination, husband Afzal is torn between his heritage and his Western aspirations.
