Closer to Home
At What Price Family?
Closer to Home weaves a universal, haunting tale of two people inexorably drawn together for vastly different reasons. Dalisay struggles to journey from the Philippine countryside to New York City to marry Dean, a disillusioned ex-merchant marine.

A powerful, controversial film that quietly builds to a shattering collision of aspirations and cultures.
