Description

"If my Lusatia is no longer Sorbian, then I'll riot!" - is the maxim of two young Sorbians, Mira and Luka. In Som Doma, Mira and Luka are accompanied as they produce a short film, which seeks to address queer topics in their supposedly conservative Sorbian community. Between the dying Sorbian language and queer-hostile voices in their environment, Mira and Luka search for their place in their own home.
