A mushy feelgood movie about an Eastern European traveler who gets stranded in the transit lounge of the JFK airport when his home country ceases to exist. The man wins over the hearts of the little people but not that of the airport immigration officer in charge. The story is comprised of several contrived subplots which go on forever and lead to, what seems, five consecutive endings. And none of it seems plausible at any point.
