House of Sand and Fog (2003) is a drama co-written and directed by Vadim Perelman, based on the book by Andre Dubus III, about Kathy Nicolo (Jennifer Connelly), a California woman who loses her house because of a mistake by the local government office, and then fights to get it back from the Iranian immigrant family that bought it from the county.
Life Lesson:
“Every thing you love is very likely to be lost, but in the end, love will return in a different way.”
Movie Scene:
Kathy: I miss my dad. He worked really hard for that house. It took him thirty years to pay it off. And it took me eight months to f*** it up.
Deputy Sheriff Burdon (Ron Eldard): Hey. Hey. Come here. We’re going to get your house back. Soon. When this is all done, I promise, I’ll move you back in myself.
