A Mother teaches her Hungarian-speaking Daughter her native language, Indonesian, but the lesson unearths the Mother’s turbulent relationship with her homeland. Against the liveliness of Budapest, the Daughter uncovers poignant truths, their everyday moments narrating Indonesia’s dark history and a longing for a place once called “home”.
