ABANDONMENT

Film still from "Fear" by Tina Bikic showing a close-up of a swimmer wearing yellow goggles, crouching among tall grass.

Will we be able to dream in our language ever again? Surely, I know how to swim, I know how to swim....

Abandonment

Written and Narrated by Tina Bikic

Man dreams with his whole being his entire life. Having come into the world, he invades the harmony of silence and then wages a war against speechlessness in a face-off with the mother tongue, and his desire to understand another - leads him to square off against new worlds, something he’s yet to understand.
