Funny Face

Zama, a young Muslim who rebels against the stick-in-the-mud ways of her uncle and aunt, hits the city roads. Saul, a deranged young man who talks revenge on the rapacious developers who displaced his grandparents, dons a grinning mask, casting himself as a makeshift everyday superhero. Set in a maze-like and constantly changing New York City landscape, this oddball urban tale incarnates multicultural identity and gentrification effects, featuring two misfits pitted against an unwelcoming and incomprehensible world.
