APM An Afghan asylum seeker named Babak is pushed out of his temporary housing in Germany to make room for Ukrainian refugees in “Babak,” the next project from Payal Sethi, director of the upcoming “Kurinji.”
The project is part of the Asian Project Market, which runs within the Busan International Film Festival’s Asian Contents & Film Market (ACFM).
Among the new arrivals are Alena and Viktor, her son of eight, still waiting for news from the front about the boy’s father. While Babak fights to bring his own family over safely, he and the boy grow close, and Viktor’s longing for a father stirs feelings Babak has long suppressed. As red tape tightens around him and he edges toward illegal options, Babak faces a choice about how far he will go for the people he loves.
