Born between wars and borders, Ibrahim has never truly belonged anywhere. The son of a Sri Lankan mother and a Sudanese father who met while fleeing their respective civil wars, his life has been shaped by constant displacement. Raised in Lebanon without citizenship and later forced to move to Sudan after his father’s deportation, his sense of home has remained fragile, built and broken by conflict. When war erupts in Sudan in 2023, Ibrahim finds himself stranded in exile in East Africa, unable to return. Attempts to reach his parents are sporadic, disrupted by bombings, electricity blackouts, and unstable networks. With no documents or safe passage, they remain trapped in the crossfire, their voices fading in and out of reach.

Through a hybrid visual language that weaves together archival footage, animation, home imagery, and vérité sequences from his journey, ‘Where Do I Belong?’ unfolds as a deeply personal road movie about identity, exile, and the fragile meaning of home. More than a reunion, Ibrahim’s journey, as director, becomes an act of self-discovery as he shares his story. A confrontation with the generational weight of displacement and a cathartic attempt to reclaim the parts of himself scattered by war.
