Joseph Nobile's(2004) "Closer to Home" weaves a universal, haunting tale of two people inexorably drawn together for vastly different reasons. Dalisay(filipina)struggles to journey from the Philippine countryside to New York City to marry Dean(a kano disillusioned ex-merchant marine). Dalisay is hoping to buy a cure for her dying sister and, ultimately, a future for her debt-ridden family, while Dean hopes to escape his disintegrating American family through love and a family of his own. A powerful, controversial film that quietly builds to a shattering collision of aspirations and cultures.
