Wandering Letter

Overview

The film Wandering Letter hangs by a thread: the tiny thread of a single letter of the alphabet, the letter R and its many pronunciations. Through the childhood memories of six people with different mother tongues (Norwegian, Japanese, Russian, Persian, Arabic and Creole), a whole world unfolds, from the intimate to the political. The film raises questions about life and death, filiation, migration, exile, resistance, and gender.
