Donya, a former Afghan translator for the U.S. authorities, lives alone in Fremont, California. When she’s promoted to writing the fortunes at her job at a fortune cookie manufacturing unit within the metropolis, Donya’s loneliness and longing drive her to ship a message out in a cookie, not sure the place it could lead. Tenderly sculpted and lyrically shot in black-and-white, Babak Jalali’s Fremont is a wry, deadpan imaginative and prescient of the common eager for house. (Supply)
