Set in 2004, Iranian immigrant Yasamin aka Yasi is the new girl at a Canadian school. Her high school experience is daunting, as she tries to improve her English by watching her favorite sitcom and befriends a trio of pastel-clad girls who feed Yasi’s need to fit in. Desperate for acceptance, she dyes her hair blonde and, in doing so, also attracts a demonic force.

[Fantasia '25] Like any immigrant, Yasamin faces a duality between the customs of her family and birthplace at home and the need to adapt to a different cultural environment when she attends high school. Although the balance between the first part of the story and a more chaotic third act is sometimes not entirely achieved, it skillfully uses the genre as a narrative tool to reflect on more relevant themes. However, by introducing a demonic figure instead of delving deeper into the protagonist's obsession with fitting in, it somewhat reduces the effectiveness of the message it seeks to convey.
