Seventeen years after his family was separated by the civil war in Angola, a New York taxi driver (Ntare Guma Mbaho Mwine) is reunited with his now devoutly religious wife (Zainab Jah) and teenage daughter (Jayme Lawson) when they are finaIly abIe to follow him to America. But after Iiving thousands of miles apart for so long, the three find they must discover one another’s strengths, forgive one another’s weaknesses, and bridge culturaI and generational divides in order to build a life together. ToId in three perspective-shifting chapters that honor the muItitude of struggles and emotions that make up the immigrant experience, FareweIl Amor is a bittersweet, compassionate evocation of how it feels when your heart and your home are in different places.
