Movie Haiku:After his father is murdered, "Sami" (Assi) must put his own plans on hold to care for his mother & manage the family gas station/convenience store. But one day, after endless hours in the cage, Sami is right where he should be when "Naj" (Shouhayib) walks in... Lovely RomCom deftly balances laughter & tears. First-time filmmaker Rola Nashef is the Arab-American Mira Nair!
