Histoire
Over a tense 36-hour period in post-9/11 Los Angeles, the lives of an ethnically diverse group of individuals intersect and collide due to racial tensions and prejudices. Among them are: a Caucasian district attorney, his wife who holds stereotypical views against blacks after being carjacked; two black carjackers exploiting their race for gain; partnered white police constables, one racist and the other disapproving but possibly harboring similar biases; a black film director and his wife, who believe he doesn't support their black heritage enough; partnered Hispanic and black detectives/lovers dealing with family issues; an East Asian man hiding valuable cargo in his van; a Persian store owner feeling unappreciated by American society after repeated robberies; and a Hispanic locksmith trying to protect his family. Their stories intertwine, culminating in a series of collisions, both literal and figurative, challenging their perspectives on race and humanity.
