Ocarina [with featured short: Nabi]

Join us for a screening of Ocarina, a compelling narrative film exploring how immigration can shift and challenge marriage and family dynamics in unexpected ways. The film will be proceeded by the short film, Nabi, which with quiet contemplation depicts the vulnerability of one Afghan migrant worker as his 25-year-long livelihood is suddenly terminated.

However, their journey does not culminate as they initially anticipated.
