Mo, a practicing Muslim living in West Hollywood, is learning to navigate life post heartbreak. Enter Kal, an All-American guy who surprises Mo by offering to break fast with him during the holy month of Ramadan. As they learn more about each other, they fall in love over what they have in common and what they don't.

 

"(DP) Anka Malatynska, who achieves the warm tones and brightness necessary for a narrative of this sort, while still managing to stand out from the pack (her night shots are especially impressive, as they emphasize the myriad lights of West Hollywood against deep shadows that remain sumptuous without dipping into noir territory)." - Christopher Shultz for Cinematropolis.com
