When a new school friend encourages an initially reluctant Sylvia to enter a dance competition, she finally signs up out of quiet desperation to exist outwardly as herself — and finds a point of connection with her father, who has always loved dancing too.A promising debut feature from Tanzanian American filmmaker Ekwa Msangi, Farewell Amor (which premiered at Sundance in January) shows a deep empathy for all three of its main characters, treating each of their unique immigrant stories with great sensitivity to their singular difficulties.
