Ayyash soon comes up with a scheme that soon draws a lot of attention to their little shop – and it just so happens to involve his stash of marijuana…

IN ONE SENTENCE, WHY SHOULD YOU BE EXCITED?

A quirky British indie with a heart the size of its marijuana stash, Dough is sweet and savoury entertainment for audiences willing to check out something a little different from the norm.
