 Tagline: Some dreams can't be shared.
Based on the acclaimed bestseller by Andre Dubus III. 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.
Academy Award winners Jennifer Connelly (A Beautiful Mind) and Ben Kingsley (Gandhi) star in the dramatic thriller "House of Sand and Fog," based on the acclaimed bestseller by Andre Dubus III.
A gripping exploration of the American Dream gone awry, "House of Sand and Fog" is the story of two people driven to desperate measures to claim ownership of a house. It is only a small bungalow in Northern California, but to Kathy Nicolo (Jennifer Connelly), it is the last vestige of hope for reclaiming a life that was nearly lost to addiction.
