Please After You begins with Iranian immigrant, Ali, searching for a better life in Canada. Having earned an engineering degree, he spends his time interviewing for a job in his field. That is, when he’s not working as a security guard at the downtown parking lot, which allows him to eke out a meagre living. His life is on track until his cousin Omid shows up, seeking political asylum to stay in Canada after getting caught up in an antigovernment demonstration in Iran. These days, stories of potential deportations are no laughing matter, but this is a surprisingly lighthearted movie. An odd couple story of an ambitious guy with his eye firmly on the future and his well-meaning but bumbling cousin, it is about starting life in a new country, resilience and finding community and a logical family wherever you may be.
