Aphasia is an unsettling inquiry into the representation of violence and the violence of representation. This documentary gesture explores how collective crimes keep being repeated and reflects on social and political constellations, unfolding constructions behind nation-states and national identities.

A film that emerges from the sonic and visual power of a concert by Croatian musicians Alen and Nenad Sinkauz and a performance by Dutch-Indonesian dancer Marije Nie. Historical denial, collective violence and resistance are intertwined.
