Lisa, a musically gifted young woman from a traditional farming family, begins working at a modern vertical farm—the very one that contributed to the downfall of her parents’ business. There, she meets Dalia, the daughter of the Muslim owners. What first seems impossible slowly transforms into a deep bond between two women from seemingly different worlds.
In the small town of Stonewall, Manitoba—where everyone knows each other and prejudice runs deep—Lisa and Dalia must face not only their own fears, but also the pressures of family and community. Will their feelings be strong enough to overcome barriers of religion, culture, and class?
“Opposites Attract” is more than a love story—it’s a tale of courage, authenticity, and breaking free from stereotypes. Directed by Shamim Sarif (“I Can’t Think Straight”, “The World Unseen”), the film offers a sensitive portrayal of the challenges faced by the LGBTQ+ community in a conservative setting.
