Thomas is visiting his mother's island home when he encounters Mahida, an Iranian college student stranded after an argument with her brother. The two strangers begin a beautifully awkward search for a common country, but discover that sometimes the smaller the world the bigger the invasions. "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
