Modersmålsmord

Directed by Meira Ahmemulić

Written by Meira Ahmemulić

Ahmemulić prepares tongue in her mother’s way – skinned, seasoned, boiled, sliced. She can then in turn serve her son her mother’s tongue. The skinned lamb tongue here becomes a brutal metaphor for a doubly impossible language – the acquired Swedish and a Serbo-Croatian that has begun to dissolve.
