Sunset, Eclipsed by Seagulls tells a true story of intercontinental love stifled by physical separation due to political frictions between Iran and the US. Jake (an American white man in his 30s) and Leyla (an Iranian woman in her late 20s), who met on a trip to Paris, fall in love and decide to be together although they live oceans away. Just when Jake applies for Leyla’s visa to bring her to the US as his fiancée, Trump’s travel ban goes into effect preventing any Iranians from entering the US. The couple struggle to maintain their relationship through this situation.
