A visual diary exploring the life of an expat’s wife, who moves from Czech Republic to Switzerland in 2020. With the relocation, she loses the foundation of her previous identity and is torn from familiar structures. What remains is a void that manifests in the loneliness of household and childcare work. As she spends her days in quiet isolation, she begins to question her own role: What does it mean to follow one’s husband to a foreign country and be recognized merely as a “family dependant”? The diary examines the unseen expectations and systemic invisibility imposed on women like her.
