""I don't know how people feel safe in a place where stars change so much." This scene was a great way to set the tone for the film. "

"Shot in all black and white, this movie stuns and leaves a lasting impression. Fortune cookie writer and Afghan immigrant Donya feels a sense of emptiness in her new home alongside new people, but it is only throughout her emotional journey that she begins to forge a deeper level of connection. Nothing is ever easy or simple, but her new relationships pave way to something special and lasting. I could feel every inch of Donya’s emotion as she longs for stability and companionship, which I think is a very human desire. This movie meant a lot to me and really just goes to show that stories, writing, and counseling can all make that much of a change and difference to achieve a more fulfilled, balanced existence. "
