After a 17-year separation, Walter (Ntare Guma Mbaho Mwine) greets his wife Esther (Zainab Jah) and daughter Sylvia (Ekwa Msangi) at JFK airport in the opening scene of
Farewell Amor.
IFC Films
Farewell Amor begins with a scene at JFK Airport, where a man greets the wife and teenage daughter he hasn't seen in years.
It's a moving but awkward reunion. Seventeen years ago, Walter left their war-torn home country, Angola, and moved to New York, where he now works as a taxi driver. His wife, Esther, and their daughter, Sylvia, relocated from Angola to Tanzania, where they've been living ever since while waiting for their U.S. visas. The details of this backstory are hinted at rather than spelled out, and Walter, Esther and Sylvia don't seem inclined to dwell too much on the past.
