Fremont, trailer

Beautiful and troubled 20something Donya, an Afghan translator who used to work with the U. S. government, has trouble sleeping. She lives by herself in Fremont, California, in a building with other Afghan immigrants and often dines alone at a local restaurant watching soap operas. Her routine changes when shes promoted to writing the fortunes at her job at a fortune cookie factory in the city. As her fortunes are read by strangers throughout the Bay, Donyas smoldering longing drives her to send a message out to the world, unsure where it will lead. directed by Babak Jalali, 2023
