When professor Walter Vale travels to New York for a lecture, he's stunned to find two immigrants, Tarek and Zainab, living in his apartment. But despite their cultural differences, the trio develop a profound connection to each other that will change them forever. Then, after Tarek is arrested by immigration authorities, Vale becomes determined to do everything he can to prevent his deportation and, in the process, rediscovers a passion for life he thought he had lost long ago. From the Academy Award-winning director of Spotlight and starring Richard Jenkins (nominated for Best Actor for his role), this moving film explores how the rhythm of life can be found in the most unexpected places.
