A universal story that will resonate far and wide, Love on Sight captures the heat and hope of the city, and the magic of falling in love for the first time…

Sabrina has her life planned out – she’s going to pass her A levels and go to university. But then she meets Jalaal, a boy trapped on the wrong path, desperate for a way out.

An English Jamaican girl and a Somali Muslim boy being together isn’t straightforward, with cultural expectations, disapproving family and religious differences to overcome.

But is that the struggle you face when you fall in love on sight?
