A recently widowed lonely and bitter college professor keeps an apartment in NYC that he has not been to for a time. Traveling there he is suddenly confronted with a Syrian musician and his Senegalese girlfriend living in it; apparently victims of a real estate scam. He decides to share the apartment with them and an unlikely friendship develops. This is a story torn from today’s events, wonderfully heartfelt–a tale of growth, change and renewal.
I saw this film in Christchurch NZ earlier this year when I was visiting my brother down under. I really liked the movie, some great character performances and excellent casting. A relatively low budget film that will warm your heart.

Genova Date: 21st Oct 2009
Haunting, suspenseful and powerfully emotional, this is a brilliantly directed drama with terrific performances from Colin Firth as Joe, a university lecturer who moves with his two American-bred daughters to Genova, Italy after his wife is killed in a car crash. There, the three surviving members of the family adjust to their loss and adapt to their new life in very different, and often conflicting, ways.
