Sifting through memories, simple scenes nestled into one another
like her own beloved wooden doll, the Matryoshka, Maja struggles to
unearth her identity. She is marked by a lingering absence – of
homeland, mother tongue, mother, warmth. Raised in an unfamiliar
country by her taciturn aunt, Maja has brief moments of connection
with her fading past such as through her childhood friendship with
Marek, a Polish refugee with his own stories of love and loss in
the face of war and displacement. An adult Maja finds herself again
and again on the outside of her relationships with others, and with
herself. This poetic, yet unadorned, account invites an open-ended
exploration of the relationship between language and identity.
