The Language Archive

George, a linguist consumed with preserving languages, can’t find the words to tell his wife Mary he loves her. Mary is reduced to leaving cryptic notes for George, right up until she leaves him. Marred couple Alta and Resten, the last surviving speakers of a dying language have recently stopped talking to each other. And Emma, George’s lab assistant, learns a whole new language to confess her love for George, but can’t bring herself to actually do it. The Language Archive explores the intersection of what we say, feel, and do – amidst language and meaning, living and loving, what’s said and what’s unsaid  – in a funny, moving, and ultimately affirming ode to being human.
