American professor who has been taken hostage in <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:City

terrorist faction. Back in the <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:country-region w:st="on">United
States</st1:country-region></st1:place>, his wife awaits word of his fate and
struggles to win the war between the media and the state department. A love
story as well as an intimate look at the human condition under political
pressure, <i><span style='font-style:italic'>Two Rooms</span></i> was first
produced in the 1980’s, yet is disturbingly relevant today. <i><span
