The cast also includes Elisabeth Rohm (Joy, American Hustle, Law & Order, Heroes) as Daniel's wife, 'Christine' and Roya Taymourian (Women's Prison, The Music Man) as Baran's mother. Alicja Bachleda skillfully and authentically portrays the silent struggle of Baran, a half-Persian journalist who leaves behind the war-torn countries of the Middle East, only to live in theongoing aftermath of the trauma. Baran is a shattered, yetfiercely independent woman engaged in a constant strugglefor independence and equality.
