Concrete Valley Movie Trailer HD - Plot synopsis: A Syrian doctor without a license to practice in Canada, Rashid (Hussam Douhna) is struggling to adjust to his new reality, and the tensions are beginning to hurt his marriage. Director Antoine Bourges (Fail to Appear) uses non-professional actors and a realist lens to frame this character study, which is both a psychological and a social drama. This is a subtle film, but it should resonant with people well beyond the immigrant community.
