For his debut feature film, Iranian-American filmmaker
Vahe Babaian wrote and directed this
drama about the cultural struggles faced by a young man living in California.
Mic Tomasi stars as
Michael, an Armenian-American man who not only must face his own inner conflicts but the ones with those around him. His mother has recently passed away, leaving his father,
Leon (
Greg Satamian), to rely on
Michael for certain things despite
Leon's not wanting to be a burden on his son. Meanwhile,
Michael's fiancée,
Anna (
Sophie Shahinian), is constantly pointing out the facets of his personality that lack maturity, and his friend
Mato (
Ioannis Bogris) is considering taking dangerous and illegal measures to bring his brother to the United States.
After Freedom premiered at the
