Reminds of the Bubble and Beyond the Walls, but each has a different narrative and resolve. What I believe sets this film apart is its forth- right telling of the brutal treatment of LGBT on both sides of ethnic groups. This film has more feel of an indie romp through it's narrative with no morality ending or resolution and redemption. Do certain events follow-through to success? We do not know if the professor stands firm on his resolve to assist Nimr. Nor, do we receive resolution of whether Nimr is stopped by sea border patrol or whether arrives at destination and united with his future lover/partner. Nothing gets resolved here, except that the "bad" abusers of a gay individual receive some justice/punishment, but no redemption because these strong-minded characters are not seen embracing LGBTAQ community only making allowances for family bonds and laying out strict rules for exile.
There are many dangling threads which a follow-up treatment might resolve.
