An intense and provokingly funny, sometimes spoken word-y, journey about love, having a complicated relationship with one's home country and the one word that cannot be translated in English. If I were to say it in English is a performative piece that follows the story of a migrant girl constructing her own mix of languages to explore themes of love, violence and longing jumping between stories of romance and significant moments from Romania’s recent harsh history.
