This is, fundamentally, two films, and the first is reduced to point form exposition to set up for the second. Was there a way to present the best of this film without the fridging quarter that's afraid of lesbian affection? Not sure, but part two is evocative and powerful. I'm a sucker for found family, and it was Ali (inhabited beautifully by Samson Selim) that moved me the most.
