Songbird

Directed by Eryn Booth

In a bustling English city, two young immigrants—Yarik, a 20-year-old student from Moscow, and Claire, a 22-year-old waitress from France—wake up to find that they can no longer understand anyone around them. Strangely, no one understands them either. As they navigate a confusing and isolating day filled with miscommunication, frustration, and moments of quiet despair, the two strangers eventually cross paths. Drawn together by their shared confusion, Yarik and Claire form an unlikely bond. As the day unfolds, their journey becomes a poignant exploration of identity, isolation, and the invisible threads that tie us all together.
