Discord of Discourse is an exploration of languages in our mind. How structures of experiences create our personal realities. Interaction among others then become a constant clash of realities where the endeavour to understand each other forces us to create, destroy and augment our previous beliefs and comprehensions in order to attain mutual perception.
Discord of Discourse is a story of two would be lovers, a linguistic anthropologist, Jean and a quantum physicist, Jean. After they manoeuvre the different pronunciations of their names spelled the same way, a curiosity sparks between these professors in the same university though seemingly opposite worlds grounded from their professions. Can their differing understandings of reality learn to see and think through another point of view? Or are we doomed to only know what’s within our own minds?
