When Azubuike’s 12-year-old son moves in with him, the struggling shoe salesman finds himself balancing fatherhood and the slow collapse of his small shop. As the pair navigate their estrangement, the unspoken becomes a language of its own; one shaped by pride, duty, and the quiet weight of expectation.

With the future of both the shop and their relationship hanging in the balance, father and son must find a way to bridge the distance between one another.

Pasa Faho is the debut feature film from Igbo- Australian filmmaker, writer and visual artist Kalu Oji. His 2023 short film What’s In A Name won the AFTRS Craft Award (for innovation in Screenwriting) at the 2023 Sydney Film Festival, and Best Direction at 2024 Filckerfest Festival.

This event includes a post-screening Q&A with moderator Safia Amadou and Pasa Faho’s director Kalu Oji and producers Ivy Mutuku and Mimo Mukii.
