The Long Weekend is a romantic LGBTQ+ drama set against the backdrop of Brighton.

Over the course of a long weekend, two men from different backgrounds meet unexpectedly and develop a connection that neither anticipated.

What begins as a chance encounter gradually develops into something more meaningful, as the pair explore their attraction, personal experiences and the possibility of a future together.

As their weekend draws to a close, both must decide whether their connection is simply a fleeting romance or the beginning of something lasting.

The film explores love, identity, cultural differences and the courage to take a chance on someone.
