NOOR & LAYLA is the love story of two queer, Muslim women, told at five different moments in their relationship, marked by the five calls to prayer (fajr, dhuhr, asr, maghrib, isha). The film opens on the dawn prayer at the end of their relationship and follows a reverse chronology to the evening prayer, isha, the moment they first met.
