Fred, adrift and purposeless, meets the modern Roxana by chance. He’s unemployed and a disappointment to his mother, while she owns her own videography business and boldly redefines the conventions of her hijab. Far from a meet-cute love story, ROXANA—winner of the Best Actor (Yasna Mirtahmasb) prize at the Tokyo Film Festival—blossoms into a vibrant and modern Iranian love story between two people defying societal expectations. Director of photography Pouya Shahbazi scheduled to attend.
