Part comedy, part alluring commentary on post-9/11 America, this razor-sharp drama follows an Arabic artist in New York.

Visual artist Asya follows the politics of her Middle East homeland on TV while enjoying a chic Manhattan lifestyle of parties, supermodels and limos. But when a childhood friend disappears, Asya suspects a CIA abduction and - to her new boyfriend's bemusement - sets out to crack the conspiracy. Nominated for the Sundance Grand Jury Prize, director Zeina Durra fuses dry comedy with alluring political drama, brilliantly depicting the everyday paranoia of post-9/11 America.
