"While I'm Away" is a first-year student animated short. This short is about the sense of not fully belonging to one place, and missing the other one when you are away. The guilt of moving abroad in the first place. Being the first generation to do this in your family. The constant self-reassurance that you aren’t doing anything wrong but still having no idea how to navigate all this. Re-birth. Alienation. Growth. Guilt. Renewal. Envy.
