Baba I’m Fine

Directed by Karina Dandashi2025USA13 mins

When Sama’s girlfriend blows off their Friday plans, the teen copes with romantic rejection by blasting music in her room. When her dad suggests hanging out, she agrees. Their evening takes an unexpected turn as a message forces her to choose between authenticity and keeping up appearances. From Karina Dandashi, the director of Cousins (Frameline47), recipient of a Colin Higgins Youth Filmmaker grant in 2023.
