UA Media Regulatory Office Executive Director Rashid Khalfan Al Nuaimi said that the film was banned due to on-screen depictions of “homosexual” characters. The film features a kiss between two women.

The news comes despite the UAE announcing it would no longer censor films last year. Homosexuality and same-sex relationships remain illegal in the country.
