THE TRANSLATOR, directed by Rana Kazkaz and Anas Khalaf

Rana Kazkaz and Anas Khalaf present their new feature film nouveau long-métrage « THE TRANSLATOR » (L’Atelier 2017), Arte Prize at the 70th Festival de Cannes.

In 2000, Sami was the translator for the Syrian Olympic team in Sydney. While translating, he made a slip of the tongue forcing him to stay in Australia and live as a political refugee.

Once there, Sami becomes increasingly aware of his responsibility towards his country and family, leading him to risk everything for freedom.
