Overview

Thomas is visiting his mother's island home when he encounters Mahida, an Iranian college student stranded after an argument with her brother.

A shaky romantic connection is made between an alienated American painter and an Iranian student in this sensitive and surprising drama. -Jason Zinoman, The New York Times .. . Conflicts between mother and son, brother and sister, Christian versus Middle East pair off for preliminaries before piling up in a noisy climax ... a fascinating blend of tense drama, inspired comedy and a sweet, innocent and chaste romance, softened further by surprisingly effective moments of still and silence ... -William Westhoven, Daily Record
