    Interesting and realistic "Green Card" story

    The protagoniste is very well portrayed by the main actress - a woman with many routines, but little true relationships in her life, a medical condition that prompts her to help a stranger, and an unexpected development that might make her rethink her life. The story has an interesting ending that makes one think rather than trying to explain.
