In 1992, Tevfik Esenç, the last person speaking the Ubykh language, died as the Ubykh language disappeared from the world. Directed by Burcu Esenç and Cantekin Cantez, this documentary tells the story of the people of Ubykh and the disappearance of a language from the world.
This intriguing first-person documentary tells the story of a lost language while commenting on notions of identity, exile, and assimilation. Centered around the last person speaking Ubykh, this poetic and personal journey takes the viewer from Turkey to Paris, Oslo, and the Caucasus region.
