Intimacies

A translator leaves New York and arrives in The Hague to work at the International Court of Justice. With her knowledge of several languages and experience living in different countries, she aims to find a place she can finally call home. In The Hague, she is immediately surrounded by a series of personal dramas: her lover, Adrian, has left his wife but is still entangled in the marriage. Meanwhile, her friend Jana witnesses a seemingly random act of violence — a crime that increasingly intrigues the translator. Additionally, she is asked to translate for a former president accused of war crimes and genocide. This is a story about the proximity of an observer to events of various scales — from family betrayals to the fate of an entire country.
