Maybe someone can help me here. I don't remember the name but in the early 90's, before I got married, I picked up a foreign film about a group of arabs trying to sneak into switzerland. I remember the plot distinctly as it was very emotional and captured a lot of different aspects of the immigration issues. A group of freinds came over right after I watched it, and I was heading out, I suggested they watch it. When I came back they were steaming mad that I would every suggest a film that was so sad and deep. They could get past the emotion to see the deep insight it provided.
