A translator who lies to everyone's face — and nobody notices.
A man is giving an interview with the help of an interpreter. But everyone is speaking French, and the translation only serves to say... something else.
Writing
Every wrong translation is a tiny perfect punchline.
Acting
Straight faces while linguistic anarchy unfolds.
Director
Sylvain Roumette
