Description

Summer 2023. It's hot, the perfect weather for swimming. But things take a different turn when three friends find a diary written in the Sorbian language from the year 1964 in an abandoned village. In 1964, under pressure from newcomers, Sorbian language classes in schools were declared no longer mandatory. A fatal decision for the Sorbs. "The Diary" tells the story of the loss of identity but also of the magic that can arise when something new enters our lives.
