This was an interesting and complex commentary on immigration, growing xenophobia, the American Dream, and the struggles of overpopulation and unemployment. The story depicts the collision of two couples during their respective experiences after a car accident; one dealing with homesickness and homelessness, the other with great loss and paranoia.
