Who controls what is remembered, and what is left unsaid? This short film explores the disrupted cultural memory of the Sakha people, whose oral traditions and historical narratives were confined to state-controlled archives through Russian colonization. Weaving together narrated memories, archival footage, and computer-generated imagery, the film meditates on the silences embedded in cultural consciousness—what has been lost, distorted, or remains unresolved.
