The Fountain

30 years ago the Gagauzian minority living in the northern regions of the Black Sea was left abandoned in the middle of colliding political powers of European Union Russia Moldova Ukraine and Turkey Today Gagauzians have nothing other than their bonds to each other The Fountain is about the ceasing culture and language of the Gagauz people It portrays the effects of the rise and fall of the Soviet Union on different generations while displaying the consequences of the vast social assimilation by following the daily lives of local families The tradition of the Gagauz community is unique and preserved almost intact for centuries However it is rapidly fading now as the elderly pass away Unfortunately the fountain flows weaker and weaker through the new generations
