Little Syrian refugee Jusúf can speak English. When he’s offered to interpret a conversation, he agrees. What could have developed into a budding flirt, had someone else interpreted it, thus turns into its exact opposite, highlighting the social, economic, and power differences, which build a wall of misunderstanding between a young man and woman.
