And Breathe Normally (2019)

A single mother on the brink of homelessness finally lands a job as a border agent. Her first success on the job is to spot a fake passport, which results in the detainment of the holder. The detainee, fleeing persecution for her sexuality, applies for asylum. Despite being on opposite sides of the law, the women's lives become entangled and their humanity wins out.

The helplessness of both women is palpable, as is the fact that no one understands their desperation like the other. It's a stark reminder that kindness -- especially toward strangers -- has become too rare so that, when it's encountered, it's often suspect.

Lovely and hopeful despite the heavy subject.
