SYNOPSIS

Over family footage shot in Tripoli in the early ‘60s, my father’s voice explains his couscous recipe in Italian. While he talks about the recipe, an English text appears on the left side of the screen. This text is not the subtitles of his words. Using an imaginary dictionary, I translate his culinary love into a different conversation. The Italian voice over is not meant to be translated.
