You Know Who
You Know Who follows Toni, a young Black woman in Glasgow, as an ordinary evening reveals a deeper truth she has learned to carry. The film blends elements of Black folklore with the everyday rhythms of living in the city. As Toni moves through her flat, she feels the weight of expectations, the interruptions, and the pressure to stay agreeable even when she wants to say no. The quiet hum of an old spiritual becomes a reminder of where she comes from and what she carries. Or does it.. The film explores otherness, silence, and the ways we learn to move through the world even when it feels like it is moving us instead.
