Arab Spring

A biting dark comedy about loss, grief, and the wars we wage in family. Yusef, a recovering addict and Dina, his OCD sister, return on the 4th of July to their childhood home in the suburbs to bury their dead beat Dad. Can they figure out a) how to do an Islamic funeral before his body goes cold, b) who their estranged father was, and c) what family means without killing each other? Inshallah.
