Being Ohnmar
After the 2021 military coup in Myanmar, 34-year-old Ohnmar plans to leave the country with her fiancé. However, her plans are complicated by the difficult decision to place her sick mother in a nursing home. Struggling to talk openly with her mother, every conversation leaves Ohnmar overwhelmed with guilt and unresolved emotions. When her mother discovers her intentions, Ohnmar must make a choice between her personal escape and family responsibility.
Way Back Home
Two brothers from different mothers who have long been at odds are united by a journey that drains emotions and energy for the purpose of finding the father who has long been missing from their lives.
