PLOT
An experimental dreamscape, "Who Should I Be in the World?" follows Tifeny Moreria, a first-generation Afro-diasporic immigrant navigating the deep psychological complexities of cultural assimilation. Moving through a Western society that demands the suppression of her native identity, she constantly grapples with alien languages, shifting cultural expectations, and the lingering generational trauma of Portuguese colonization. Director Jamal Ademola entirely rejects standard linear storytelling, instead masterfully blending live-action footage, historical archival clips, and vivid animation. This striking mixed-media approach beautifully mirrors the fragmented, multi-layered nature of memory and heritage. The film is a poetic, deeply intimate exploration of identity, survival, and the profound cost of belonging in a displaced world.
