A Palestinian-American man reconnects with a woman from his past.

Dunwoody College film instructor Mohannad Ghawanmeh makes an impressive acting debut as an Anglo-Palestinian sifting through his family history. After his charismatic older brother’s death, he encounters a woman from their mutual past and learns that his memories are incomplete. To come to terms with his rootless present he must deal with old personal secrets . It’s clearly a film buffs’ labor of love. Poignant and moody, the film recalls “Blow Up,” the French New Wave and such indie American classics as “The King of Marvin Gardens.” Summertime Minneapolis and Lake Pepin sparkle in Jeremy Wilker’s sharp HD cinematography.
