Works well with paper, has trouble with life. 
In the wake of her recent divorce, origami artist Ilana has barricaded herself in her studio, surrounded by paper cranes and Chinese take-out boxes.  Her seclusion is interrupted by Andy, an energetic high school teacher, and his student Suresh, an origami prodigy. Both urge
