BREAKDOWN
SEEKING:
Tariq:
mid 40’s to early 50’s . Christian Iraqi. Noura’s husband. A former surgeon originally from Baghdad. Living in New York for eight years, he is passionate about his new status as an American Citizen. Intellectual and progressive, he now works as a hospitalist after years struggling as a refugee in America. Charming, appealing, sexual. Deeply in love with his wife. A committed and passionate husband and father. He tries hard to bury the years of trauma and war to which he was witness as a surgeon in Iraq. Every decision he makes is for the benefit of his family.
Rafa’a:
mid 40’s to early 50’s. Muslim Iraqi. Noura’s childhood neighbor from Mosul. A close friend of the family and a surrogate uncle to their young son, Yazen. A progressive, feminist, OBGYN. Introspective, empathetic, intelligent. Has an intensity to him, and a playful sense of humor. In love with Noura and her true confidant but has been prevented from ever having a romantic relationship with her because of their different faiths. Torn between expressing his love for Noura and staying in close relationship to her family.
