Pasa Faho

  •   Kalu Oji
  •   Australia

In the heart of suburban Melbourne, a quiet Nigerian shoe salesman named Azubuike leads a humble life, selling soles while attempting to stay connected with his sister and their close-knit Igbo Christian congregation. Experiencing a recent waning of faith, fueled by an unexpected financial setback, Azubuike begins to interrogate not only his spiritual identity but also his purpose in life. At the same time, he must attempt to forge closer ties with his distant yet perceptive adolescent son Obinna, who has just begun living with him full time.

As father and son navigate the uneasy terrain between tradition and transformation, they find themselves confronting their perceptions of each other. Bolstered by the grace offered by their communities, they start to move toward common ground. A meditation on inheritance and dislocation, Pasa Faho unfolds as a heartwarming tale of reconnection, resilience, and the quiet beauty of starting again.
