Here We Are invites us into the world of Kamila Xi — a figure who exists at the edges of our understanding, speaking words that hum with something true and unsettling. She reflects on the quiet machinery of society, the patterns we follow without question, and the comfort of what’s deemed “right.” Kamila’s words are personal, yet somehow universal, as if she’s speaking from a place we all know but don’t often visit.
The film drifts through scenes like fragments of memory, part dream, part reality—images slipping by, sometimes clear, sometimes dissolving like thoughts we can’t quite hold onto. Kamila is there, but she’s also not; she’s herself, but maybe she’s all of us. Nothing is stable, and yet everything feels intentional, as if her world is holding up a fractured mirror to our own.
Inspired by Albert Camus’ The Fall, with a pulse of Mr. Robot and the dark allure of Cyberpunk 2077, Here We Are isn’t here to explain itself. It’s here to unsettle, to leave us asking: are we living, or just sleepwalking through someone else’s design?
