“My Day” follows Bayan, a 15-year-old girl growing up in Denmark, torn between her desire for self-expression and the traditions of her devoted family. At school, she secretly removes her hijab, relishing the fleeting sense of freedom it gives her. At home, she wears it dutifully, hiding her inner struggle. As questions come from classmates and her principal, Bayan’s double life is revealed, culminating in a tense parent-teacher meeting. There, she must confront her father’s expectations and fight for her right to choose her own path. In this intimate yet universal story, “My Day” explores identity, self-reliance, and the courage it takes to stand between two worlds.
Poetic yet grounded, My Day is both an intimate character study and a universal coming-of-age story—an exploration of identity, self-reliance, and the courage needed to stand at the crossroads between tradition and independence.
