Mother Tongue is a linguistic journey down the Danube River exploring the intersections and boundaries of identity, place and time.
The film explores attitudes towards neighbors, outsiders and borders within the Danube River Basin – from its German headwaters to its Romanian and Ukrainian delta. Giving voice to the nine major languages spoken along the river, the film encompasses linguistic, anthropological, sociological, and geopolitical dimensions.
