Plum Town: A young land developer returns to his childhood home in the Chinese countryside for the first time in a decade to convince his stubborn father to finally sell the failing plum orchard. However, when the two find themselves unable to understand each other, they turn to the dusty old karaoke machine in the house to find a common language.
Winter of ‘79: At the onset of the 1979 Iranian Revolution, a Persian-Jewish mother is forced to question her faith in her country.
Plum Town played during Opening Night and Winter of ‘79 played during Closing Night at the NFFTY 2022 festival! Tune in to this week’s podcast to hear a preview of the first episode of our NFFTY Connect series premiering on YouTube.
