Synopsis: Translating tells
about the journey of words from a language to another. Translators are
used to face words, to follow their traces and force them into new
spaces. Translators have to master not only a language but also what’s
behind it: an entire culture and an idea of the world; that’s why we
have asked ten translators to come with us in this journey through words
and languages and take us to discover these worlds. Every language is a
sound and the translator is a sort of musician. We find a musical
instrument beside every language: conservatory students try to perform
the same sheet of music translating the same melody into their own
instrument. Language is also a mixture and the translator is a baker who
prepares the bread everyday. In every country we can find different
shapes of bread, made by the same ingredients. Language, like bread, is
an alchemy we put on the table and eat everyday. To make this
documentary, I put translators together with musicians and bakers. Each
of them tells about an aspect of translating. The translator at his desk
explains its deep sense, the musician with his own instrument makes us
listen to the sound, the night baker reveals his mixture.
