Turkish film-maker Deniz Şimşek tells us the myth of a water monster that dates back to the ancestors of Armenians and Kurds around Lake Van, a region that witnessed the ethnic cleansing of these peoples. The mythological, the political and the personal intertwine in the blue of the landscape, amid various forms of oblivion. ‘Meanwhile, the ancestral gods are angry with us, and I'm angry with my father.’

1983年，导演的24岁姐姐出现精神分裂的症状。从事医学研究的父母却无法接受这个事实，不仅拒绝为她寻求治疗，更选择将女儿长期锁在家中，以保护为名行囚禁之实。弟弟对此深感困惑，拿起摄像机开始记录家庭日常。导演翻找原本温馨私密的家庭视频，忍痛翻开伤口，审视亲情与疾病、伦理与抉择之间的复杂纠缠，诘问社会对精神病的偏见以及日本传统观念的束缚，反问自己面对着无法重来的过去——「我们当时究竟该怎么做？」

By recreating personal stories though testimony, poetry and archival material, the artist and performers explore deep traumas that no single place or language can contain. Abkhazia, the disputed state on the Black Sea – once an opulent Soviet holiday resort with a multi-ethnic population – became a symbolic ghost town following the 1992-93 war with Georgia. Here, fragmented memories and dreams destroyed by violence and exile are exhumed through interpretive re-enactment and haunting sound.
