Common Language - Family, Taboos, Reconciliation
The director of this documentary director, long considered the family's black sheep, embarks on an emotional pilgrimage to Vitebsk, Belarus, to confront her parents about deep-seated grievances and family taboos. As they grapple to bridge generational and emotional divides, the film intimately captures the whirlwind of raw emotions, often unspoken sentiments, and the challenging search for mutual understanding—zooming into the poignant details of their facial expressions and the weight each word carries.
