However, despite all the wonderful moments, the relationship is challenging. Joyce is repeatedly unsettled by Elias's shifts between exuberance and sadness. Often, she doesn't understand why there are misunderstandings. Is it because he comes from a different culture? Because he is a refugee? Do they even belong together?
