Abstract

"MY OWN" is a captivating experimental short documentary music video that follows the journey of a young refugee who leaves his life and family behind to seek refuge in Venice. This poignant narrative exposes the cold reality many immigrants and refugees from non-white countries face in Europe, while also revealing how our protagonist finds solace in a new community. The unique soundtrack, crafted entirely from the sounds of his surroundings—such as cooking noises, waves, and city ambiance—adds an authentic layer to this compelling story. "MY OWN" offers a fresh and immersive take on the resilience of the human spirit.
