Dali
Synopsis
Bulgarian-born American-raised rapper Dali From The Valley, or Dimitar Ognyanov, dies, and when at the gates of the afterlife, he meets The Gatekeeper, and together they must decide if he belongs Above or Below. This follows a recollection of Dali’s life: through his American upbringing, his Bulgarian heritage, his complicated relationship with his sister, the loss he feels having never met his mother; his reunion with his estranged father, as well a depiction of the seemingly meaningless life of excess he’s led, his entourage, the endless troubles with various partners, and a long, long trip down a memory lane of all the mistakes Dali’s made and all the pain he’s caused.
The film explores themes of cultural belonging, the weight of memories, nature vs. nurture, the pain of staying at the top, love, finality, and whether our choices define us.
