While on a trip to Thailand, a successful American businessman tries to radically change his life. Back in New York, his wife and daughter find their relationship with their live-in Filipino maid changing around them. At the same time, in the Philippines, the maid's family struggles to deal with her absence.
Ambitious, beautifully made and well cast, but not quite successful attempt to say something about globalization and what it means for individual human beings.
Maltin**1/2: "Complex, ambitious, but flawed account...Overlong, meandering film still offers astute commentary on how all children are not created equal."
