about

PISMO V KANADO/A LETTER TO CANADA is based on a letter Katarina’s dying 29-year old great-granny wrote to her husband Franz who was a migrant worker in Canada at the time (late 1920s). Katarina used her great-granny’s words to tell the story of her hardship and love towards her husband, children and the croft.

(Excerpt: My dear Franz, if you only knew how hard it is/ people say I have to write for you/ but I rather see, with all the eyes I have/ that you stay there and earn a bit more/ it would be better for the family)
