"New Soil" is a profound exploration into the intricate dynamics of growth, encapsulated within the tender embrace of maternal relationships and the deep-rooted connections to homelands. Central to its poignant portrayal are the figures of my Mother and Father, whose presence imbues the narrative with personal resonance and familial intimacy.

​

From the very inception of our existence, there exists an innate longing for a place to call home—a sanctuary where our identities can flourish and our spirits find solace. Yet, does this quest for belonging ever truly reach its conclusion, or does it persistently beckon us forward, urging us to navigate the evolving landscapes of our lives? As we traverse the journey of maturation and self-discovery, we come to realize that the boundaries we perceive as defining our sense of place are often arbitrary, human constructs imposed upon lands that once existed as unified wholes.

​

In "New Soil," these themes resonate deeply as the narrative unfolds, weaving together threads of personal history, cultural heritage, and the universal quest for belonging. Through the lens of familial bonds and the intertwined relationships with our ancestral lands, the short film  invites contemplation on the fluidity of identity and the transformative power of reconnecting with one's roots. It challenges us to reconsider the notion of borders—both physical and metaphorical—as we strive to reconcile the complexities of our past with the unfolding narratives of our present and future.
