Alekesam(2013)

Alekesam follows a father estranged from his homeland and a son estranged from his father as they navigate separation and longing through music. Caught between worlds, both men struggle to find belonging—the father grappling with exile, the son with abandonment. Their fragmented relationship becomes the emotional core of the film, as music emerges as their tentative language of connection. Rather than offering easy reconciliation, Alekesam explores how two people shaped by loss might reach toward each other across the distance that divides them. The film examines displacement, identity, and the possibility of healing through art, capturing the quiet desperation of those searching for home in both place and person.
