Rim, a Tunisian interpreter residing in France, works in the intricate world of asylum procedures for immigrants. Her routine revolves around translating the harrowing tales of displaced individuals, each narrative echoing fragments of her own past. As she delves into their stories, she finds herself confronting unresolved aspects of her personal history, prompting introspection and stirring a quest for identity. She grapples with profound existential questions, weaving a complex tapestry of cultural, emotional, and linguistic connections. She discovers parallels between her own journey and those she assists, illuminating the shared human experiences of displacement, resilience, and the search for belonging.
