Director: Michel Brault
Starring: Genevieve Bujold, Manuel Aranguiz, Dorothee Berryman.
A lawyer ropes her sister into helping out a client. He’s an illegal immigrant in Canada. A six month visa has expired and he faces torture, prison and possibly death if he’s returned to his South American home country.
It’s a familiar story, with a similar tale told in the more famous Green Card with Andie MacDowell and Gerard Depardieu a year after A Paper Wedding. This telling is much more believable though, and the characters are better explained.
It’s a pity it doesn’t have a wider audience, as it’s a perfect film for a night in
