London River
Sommers, that one believes to know it immediately. Get more background information with materials from Sela Ward. Through a search poster, your way with the Mr. Ousmane crosses, but full of mistrust and fear at the sight of her eerie black call the police immediately. Although it quickly transpires that Jane and Ali are friends, want Mrs. Sommers with Mr. Ousmane have nothing to do.
This in turn seems to be completely immune against any then and followed the search with simple methods and almost stoic calm after his son. Too bad that this character was not developed by the Director, he works but sometimes too artificial in his imperturbability against all odds, that happened to him. Mrs. summer, the simple woman from the country, is most amazed but also scared when she encounter the footsteps of Jane’s always foreigners and Muslims. Slowly realises it, how little does her own daughter. “The scenes of her bias-inducing behavior look funny why in everything in the world, Jane should learn Arabic, who here speaks Arabic?”-but at the same time expressing their helplessness against a world, which is her strange and dangerous.
