I Hope This Will Fix Me

Directed by Hassibullah Kushkaki

A youthful tale about 19-year-old Anise who wears her heart on her sleeve. Turbulence in her childhood home leaves her conflicted between trying to achieve her lifelong dream or nurturing her family’s kindred spirits. With the help of her witty, laissez-faire childhood friend Nina, Anise is determined to leave old patterns of behaviour behind and pledges pen-to-paper to fulfil her aspiring acting career. Through the creation of a list designed to ‘fix her’, we follow Anise as she attempts to overcome her feelings of responsibility to help others, versus living for herself.
