I Don't Know What I'm Doing Here
“We out here in this village.”
Synopsis
Mima, an American college student, embarks on a road trip to the rural Romanian village where her grandmother, Esther, was born. Her friend Jacob, a recent film-school dropout, joins her in the old country, along with an 18-year-old translator whom she found on Facebook. Decades after Esther’s death, Mima relies on her grandmother’s unmarked photos of the village and recorded oral history to orient herself in the remote area. As the trio scale walls and trek through fields searching for any evidence of Esther’s life in Romania, the deeper unknowns animating Mima's journey begin to reveal themselves.
