But it is in this one.”
Paul Eluard
A young American filmmaker goes to the former Yugoslavia in search of the homeland her family never spoke about. A personal and political investigation on memory, migration, and cultural erasure, the film tells the story of a person and a country haunted by the past. The story is told in the form of a letter to the filmmaker’s late grandfather and utilizes family archives, archives of Yugoslavia, and encounters with the land and the people her family left behind.
