 org for tickets\, show times\, and more information | Each morning Donya (
 Anaita Wali Zada) leaves her tight-knit community of Afghan immigrants in 
 Fremont\, California. She crosses the Bay to work at a family-run fortune 
 cookie factory in San Francisco. Donya drifts through her routine\, strugg
 ling to connect with the culture and people of her new\, unfamiliar surrou
 ndings while processing complicated feelings about her past as a translato
 r for the U.S. government in Afghanistan. Unable to sleep\, she finagles h
 er way into a regular slot with a therapist (Gregg Turkington) who grasps 
 for prospective role models. When an unexpected promotion at work thrusts 
 Donya into the position to write her own story\, she communicates her lone
 liness and longing through a concise medium\: the fortunes inside each coo
 kie. Donya’s koans travel\, making a humble social impact and expanding 
 her world far beyond Fremont and her turbulent past\, including an encount
 er with a quiet auto mechanic (Jeremy Allen White) who could stand to see 
 his own world expanded. Tenderly sculpted and lyrically shot in black-and-
 white\, Babak Jalali’s FREMONT is a wry\, deadpan vision of the universa
 l longing for home.
