SYNOPSIS

[EN] GOAT FISH SNAKE SPARROW is an ethnographic film that captures the migration stories, folklore, songs, and rituals associated with Koda, a nearly extinct language spoken by the Kora community in India. Through the socio-personal narrative of a young woman, the film explores themes such as love, aspiration, and decline. The Koda language lacks a written form and survives only through its dwindling speakers. With each death in the Kora community, it is believed that the deceased takes away at least seven Koda words, which will be lost forever and never remembered or spoken again.
