Parvaneh

Parvaneh is a young Afghan immigrant who recently arrived at a transit centre for asylum seekers in the Swiss Alps. When she receives a phone call about her father's bad health, she decides to send all her illegally earned money to her family. In order to do so, she must travel to Zurich. On arrival she is overwhelmed by the busy city, the mass of advertisement and the noise of the cars. As she doesn't own a valid passport, she is unable to make the money transfer on her own. She asks various people to help her, but the only one caring is a punk girl called Emily. This starts a series of unusual encounters, as she explores with Emily the unknown city and culture, which leads to an unusual friendship. (Cinemax)
