The Talented Ones

"The Talented Ones looks at the thwarted dreams of immigrants eager to make it in their adopted country. As converts to the American Dream, how much more challenging and lethal do the notions of success and failure become? Omar is falling down in his attempts to make a success of his life, while his wife, Cindy, a fellow immigrant, appears to be doing much better, and is becoming increasingly frustrated by Omar's struggles. His American best friend, Patrick, may be Cindy's way out. Mixing realism with memory and dance, The Talented Ones dissects with increasing ferocity this couple's marriage and aspirations."--Publisher's website.
