This film portrays little known Slovenian emigrants in the United State through open and intimate voices of women of different generations of Slovenian emigrant communities, who consider themselves “100% Slovenian.” Examining what is Slovenian identity –childhood memories, grandmother’s songs, knowing the language or something else, impossible to put into words, the film asks questions about what is national identity, and why is it still such an important issue in this multicultural world we live in.

Director Hanna A.W. Slak
Polish-born, Hanna studied comparative literature and attended the Slovenian Academy of Film and Television. She has directed numerous shorts and documentaries. She is currently in pre-production on her new feature, entitled Teah.
