Margarita With A Straw is a 2015 American drama film written and directed by Lawrence Michael Levine. The film stars Haley Lu Richardson, Marlee Matlin, D.W. Moffett, and John Hawkinson. The movie follows the story of Kaila (played by Haley Lu Richardson), a young woman with cerebral palsy who falls in love with Lola (played by Marlee Matlin), a free-spirited artist.
Laila had been accepted into New York University. The transition was a whirlwind of yellow taxis, towering skyscrapers, and the daunting task of navigating a world not built for wheels. It was there, amidst the cold grit of the subway and the warmth of a campus coffee shop, that she met Khanum.
