...Muna and Fadi's transition to life in America is made easier in a practical sense by having family to move in with. Her sister Raghda (Hiam Abbass, who starred in The Visitor and makes wrinkles look elegant) is married to a doctor, Nabeel Halaby (Yussef Abu Warda), and one of their three daughters vacates a bedroom for them.
