This experimental video project investigates a personal longing to find a balance between three languages that I use in my everyday life: Tatar – my native language, Russian – language of my home country, English – language of the country I currently live in.

Like three completely different worlds, they are associated with different people, emotions, and states of mind. So what happens, when those worlds collide and intersect?

Media: Video, 8mm, HD Video, Animation
