SYNOPSIS
In this coming-of-age story, Rosie Ming, a young Canadian poet, is invited to perform at a Poetry Festival in Shiraz, Iran, but she’d rather be in Paris. She lives at home with her over-protective Chinese grandparents and has never been anywhere by herself. Once in Iran, she finds herself in the company of poets and Persians, all who tell her stories that force her to confront her past; the Iranian father she assumed abandoned her and the nature of Poetry itself. Rosie goes on an unwitting journey of forgiveness, reconciliation, and perhaps above all, understanding, through learning about her father’s past, her own complicated cultural identity, and her responsibility to it. It’s about building bridges across generations and cultures through the magic of Poetry.
Actress Melissa Jane Rodriguez sat down with Sandra to talk about GREY’S ANATOMY and WINDOW HORSES.
SANDRA OH: “We actors, we’re a fragile bunch, and yet we need to be strong because 90% of our lives is rejection.“
