The Pasha, my mother and I - A daughter and mother confront their inherited past

Nevine’s search for identity leads her back to her Kurdish roots, where generations of silence and resilience shape the legacy she carries. With her mother, Pervine, as both guide and adversary, she unravels stories of displacement, struggle, and survival.

As they navigate their shared history, the film mediates intergenerational trauma, belonging, and the unspoken ties that bind us to our origins. Can they find a way to reconcile the past without being bound by it?
