In New York, David, a Jewish American TV host of "Sex and Happiness", falls in lust with sensual Layla, a Kurdish immigrant. Faced with deportation, Layla must make a crucial life decision: to marry the exciting, witty Jewish David or conservative Muslim Dr. Ahmed? David's lust turns to love as he discovers that behind the mysterious Layla is a strong, intelligent, sensitive human being with an ancient culture that parallels David's own Jewish tradition--spice, music, dance and humor, despite unspeakable tragedy. David and Layla follow their hearts only to open up a whole new set of complications: who will convert and how will this young couple shake off their "baggage" of their families' prejudices and the background of hate, war and death flashed daily in the Media? David & Layla take the plunge: they wed, obliging the two families to discover that they share more in basic humanity than they had imagined; finding that love is wise and hatred is foolish.

DAVID & LAYLA at Valentine/Amour Int'l Film Fest
20 Official International Festival Selections, 5 Wins. Shiva Rose, the first Persian American actress in a lead role in an English-speaking feature, winner of Best Breakthrough Performance Award- see Shiva Rose's interview at PersianMirror.com. First Persian actress to get Excellent review in Hollywood industry journal international VARIETY:

Shiva Rose (Layla) excels as a self-reliant damsel in distress worth rooting for.
VARIETY 07/24/06. The director, winner of Spirit of Independent Award, will introduce the film. Aptly dubbed as a 'Political Romantic Comedy', David & Layla is making a Guiness Book of World Records by being Official Selection not only at regular film festivals but also at Political/Human Rights and Love/Romantic film fests!

Set in New York, inspired by a true story:

This new comedy about young loves and the large ethnic families (on both sides) that stand between them could have been just another My Big Fat Greek Wedding, but its originality and insight set it apart. This outright charmer by Jay Jonroy has the potential of being a broad crowd-pleaser, along the lines of My Big Fat Greek Wedding. Only David and Layla is a superior variation on that film, with unexpected insights…Joe Baltake.

Dedicated to the director's own family genocide victims, this 'political romatic comedy' is a gift for the oppressed Layla's of the world.
