Did he give up on their increasingly hopeless quest to secure their green cards and decide to return to Malaysia? Was it the death of his father that sent him into a tailspin? Or has his strange, sudden change in personality finally made Marlin and Edwina strangers to each other? Searching the city for traces of her husband, Edwina sifts through memories of their relationship, hoping to discover the moment when something went wrong.
