Big River

Soon after he lands in America, Ali, a middle-aged Muslim man from Pakistan, begins his search for his wife, Nadia. On the road he picks up Teppei, a young Japanese traveller hitchhiking across America, and Sarah, a local trailer park girl, who both help him in his quest. There are a lot of misunderstandings along the way, given that three people are thrown together with quite different personalities, and from different cultural backgrounds. Nevertheless, the bizarre trio manages to find Nadia who, to Ali's dismay, is living a new life in Phoenix with another man... A road movie from the American Southwest with three highly unusual characters and stunning cinematography. (Karlovy Vary International Film Festival)
