AMBROSIA
Ali and Leila, an Iranian immigrant couple in Vancouver, are working hard to make a better life for themselves. Ali is a pizza shop owner who hopes to expand his business. Leila is a talented seamstress who wants to become a fashion designer. When Sarah, who is in the fashion business, offers Leila a job, she jumps at the chance. But Ali's pizzeria is struggling and Leila has to rush there every day from her own job to help out at night. And the pressure on Leila increases when Sarah's relationship with her becomes less than professional. Leila is faced with some hard decisions.
