House of Sand and Fog Movie Synopsis

Massoud Amir Behrani (Kingsley) is living a lie to fulfill a dream. Once a member of the Shah of Iran’s elite inner circle, he has brought his family to America to build a new life. Despite a pretense of continued affluence, he is barely making ends meet until he sees his opportunity in the auction of a house being sold for back taxes. It is a terrible mistake. Through a bureaucratic snafu, the house had been improperly seized from its rightful owner, Kathy Lazaro (Connelly). The loss of her home tears away Kathy’s last hope of a stable life - a life that had been nearly destroyed by addiction - and Kathy decides to fight to recover her home…at any cost.

LOVED IT, A MUST SEE!!!!!!!!!!

Great acting, but the story was awful. Every single lead character has something horrible happen to them. If something can go wrong, it does and in the worst way possible. I can`t believe not even one good thing ever happens. Horribly depressing. I felt suicidal after watching this.

Very good movie, the director dod a great job adapting the script. The acting superb, Jennifer is a real babe.
