Opening Night: Breaking Fast with Q&A and After Party


Mo (Haaz Sleiman, The Visitor, Nurse Jackie), a practicing Muslim living in West Hollywood, has just endured a painful breakup, so he decides to be especially observant during Ramadan this year—and this includes no romantic encounters. Enter Kal (Michael Cassidy), a handsome, charming all-American who surprises Mo by offering to break the daily fast with him. As the monthlong holiday progresses, their nightly ritual feeds a growing bond between them across the cultural divide. But is it just friendship, or something more?
