I Don't Know What I'm Doing Here

Mima, an American college student, embarks on a road trip to the rural Romanian village where her grandmother, Esther, was born. She asks her close friend Jacob, a recent film-school dropout, to join her in the old country, along with an 18-year-old translator whom she found on Facebook. Decades after Esther’s death, Mima must rely on her grandmother’s unmarked photos of the village and recorded oral history to orient herself in the remote area. The trio does everything in their power to find any corroborating evidence of Esther’s presence in Romania. It is only after a chance encounter in a cemetery, however, that the deeper unknowns animating Mima's journey begin to move towards resolution. It is a punk-rock response to a media-saturated upbringing, detachment from one’s history, and a bold statement of what to do about it.
