Nordic Shorts, Denmark / Finland / France 2014, 13 Min., arab. OV
A police station in Copenhagen. A woman comes in with her small son, wanting to file a report. She wears a burqa – and she intends to report her violent husband. The situation threatens to escalate when the interpreter seems to hesitate to translate the woman’s words correctly. A very direct film about cultural differences and bureaucratic ignorance.
