Russian filmmaker Vadim_Perelman makes his feature-film debut with the psychological drama House of Sand and Fog, based on the novel by Andre Dubus III. Ben_Kingsley plays Massoud Amir Behrani, an Iranian immigrant living the United States. Even though he was a high-ranking official in Iran, he works several menial jobs in order to provide his wife, Nadi (Shohreh_Aghdashloo), and his son, Esmail (Jonathan_Ahdout), with an apartment in California. He buys a California bungalow, thinking he can fix it up, sell it again, and make enough money to send Esmail to college. However, the house is the legal property of former drug addict Kathy (Jennifer_Connelly). After losing the house in an unfair legal dispute with the county, she is left with nowhere to go. Wanting her house back, she hires a lawyer (Frances_Fisher) and befriends a police officer (Ron_Eldard). Neither Kathy nor Behrani have broken the law, so they find themselves involved in a difficult moral dilemma. Andrea LeVasseur, Rovi
