We call her Hanka

PLA NAS GRONJE JEJ HANKA | POLA NAS RĚKA WONA HANKA


Theatrical Release: April 18, 2023

Synopsis

What makes us who we are? In search of her own roots, the director explores an indigenous people in Germany: the Sorbs, the smallest Slavic people. Their language and culture are severely threatened by centuries of oppression. But a new generation no longer wants to accept this: They are committed to self-determination, come to terms with the trauma of losing their villages because of lignite mining or redefine being Sorbian as alternative, anti-fascist and feminist. And the German Anna becomes a Sorbian Hanka. Metaphorical images of nature, poetic reflections of a first-person narrator and archaic but experimental Sorbian music in the first ever film about Sorbs.
