Fremont

Fremont; Babak Jalali, 2023, versions: OR,CS, languages: eng

Očarujúca komédia, s náznakmi ranného Jarmuscha, o hľadaní seba samého a o nádeji, ktorá prichádza, keď ju najmenej čakáme.

Director: Babak Jalali • Cast: Anaita Wali Zada, Jeremy Allen White, Gregg Turkington, Hilda Schmelling

Wake up after a sleepless night, say hello to the neighbours, go to work and spend the whole day making and wrapping fortune cookies. This is what life is like for Dunia, an Afghan immigrant now settled in Fremont, America. Loneliness and insomnia are the problems the young woman tries to solve, first on her own, then with the help of a peculiar therapist. It is not clear whether it is harder to cope with a traumatic past or an uncertain present. Could the solution be a message that Dunia hides in one of thousands of fortune cookies? A gently wistful comedy about finding oneself and whether refugeeism is a state of actual geography or of mind. And also about the hope that can appear when we least expect it.
