Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })Parvaneh is a 2012 short film from Switzerland, directed by Talkhon Hamzavi.Parvaneh (Nissa Kashaneh) is a refugee from Afghanistan who is staying at a refugee housing center. Her parents are back in Afghanistan and her father is ill, so Parvaneh gets a job sewing clothes under the table. She's paid a pittance and is heartlessly exploited by the Swiss man who employs her, but at least she now has money to send home.Only she can't. It turns out that to wire money from Switzerland to anywhere you have to have a valid ID and be at least 18. Parvaneh fails on both counts. She goes out looking for a Swiss person to help her, and finds Emily, a white girl and German-speaking Swiss who's old enough. The two girls strike up a friendship.

Alone in a Crowd: Parvaneh, who hasn't seen anything of Switzerland but the refugee center and the farm where she sews clothes, when she's in a crowded railway station struggling to make sense of the timetables.

Fish out of Water: Parvaneh, a Muslim woman from Afghanistan (and apparently a rural part of Afghanistan), navigating Switzerland. She tentatively tries on lipstick in a store, and later takes off her headscarf, the latter probably because she doesn't want to get picked up by the police. Western liberties take a darker tone when Parvaneh gets drunk at a club and nearly suffers disaster.
