Synopsis
yaya/ayat explores identities, being lost in translation and distance. But at its core itâs about the filmmaker longing for a relationship with her geographically distant grandma and her journey to Greece to find her. This is an experimental documentary about how being a part of any diaspora shapes a personâs identity.
