Days yet unknown

Embarking on motherhood while also witnessing her own mother succumbing to dementia, Jola Wieczorek decides it is time to finally capture family memories. As a child in the 1980s, Wieczorek fled from Poland with her parents and younger brother, and subsequently grew up in Austria. In her documentary film DAYS YET UNKNOWN, Wieczorek uses her parents’ letters to reconstruct places that loom large in their memories of that time; together, they visit and discuss them. Like a road movie in reverse, they journey back to the first and final place where Jola didn’t feel like an outsider. DAYS YET UNKNOWN addresses the permanent yearning for a sense of arrival.
