Interweaving universal themes - the nature of identity, the meaning
of family, the emotional legacy of the past - Interpreters
magnificently unravels the impact of a war that resonates across
four generations. One woman wants to uncover the truth about her
family history. Another guards her secrets in order to stay sane.
When Julia Rosenthal returns to England and visits her suburban
childhood home, the memories and unspoken tensions of family life
come flooding back. Looking for clues and determined to find some
answers, she tries to make sense of her odd childhood and
understand why her free-spirited brother has a much easier
relationship with her teenage daughter. In a different place and
time, Julia's mother struggles to tell her own story, gradually
revealing the secrets of her early years in wartime Germany -
secrets she has carried through the century - until past and
present collide with unexpected and haunting results.
