While re-visiting the apartment of her childhood, spent in Soviet Belarus, Los Angeles-based artist Yelena Zhelezov talks to people who experienced a border change, either in name or territory. What is it like to live in the shadow of a disappeared country, a missing definition? What happens to the sense of place and belonging? Are there déjà vus? What remains?
