In southern Carinthia, about 90 percent of all inhabitants spoke Slovene before 1910; today the percentage is in single digits. In her essayistic documentary, Andrina Mraˇcnikar formulates a highly political urgency in a personal way: What happens when one's mother tongue is taken away in everyday life? What must politics do to counteract the disappearance of a language whose protection is enshrined in the constitution? Awarded the Audience Award of the Diagonale 2022.
