Logline

Parvaneh

Parvaneh is a young Afghan, a recent arrival at a transit centre in the Swiss Alps for asylum seekers. All she knows is the centre and the rural area it's in. When she learns about her father’s bad health, she decides to send all her illegally acquired money to her family. To do that she must travel to Zurich. This leads to a series of unusual encounters as she explores a city and a culture that are totally new to her.
