KNOW YOUR PLACE is a slice-of-life drama set in present-day Seattle, WA. Robel Haile (Joseph Smith), an Eritrean American boy of 15, embarks on an errand to deliver a huge and heavy suitcase across town destined for a sick family member in his parents’ homeland. He enlists the help of his best friend Fahmi Tadesse (Natnael Mebrahtu), when an unexpected turn transmutes his simple task into an odyssey across the city of Seattle. The two now have to navigate directions to make his delivery on time, along with the challenges of familial responsibility, self-identification, and dislocation amid the ongoing redevelopment and economic displacement of the only community he’s ever known as home.
