The project was born from a need to make a documentary, entitled I talk otherwise, about a journey along the Danube, aiming to highlight the mixtures, the rifts and the cultural contradictions of the lands the river passes through.
The river rises in Germany, crosses Austria, as well as several countries of the ex-communist block: Slovakia, Hungary, Croatia, Serbia, Bulgaria and Rumania until it pours into the Black Sea, having marked the border with Ukraine.
In the past, the river, apart from being a carrier of information, had also been a silent witness of wars and invasions. In the present, having accepted the innovations, it continues to have great influence over the habitat, the economies and the architectures. The idea is mainly is to emphasize the life of/along the Danube, in order to show which were the changes, the disagreements and the distresses that pushed the Eastern European countries toward an affected wish to be westernized.
As the monumental river penetrates those places, we will follow and accompany it, from its spring in Germany to the Black Sea, in order to collect the most varied and heterogeneous testimonies of life.
