Intimacies

A Separation's creator returns with a suspenseful and thrilling tale of a woman torn between multiple realities.

In order to work at the International Court and avoid New York, an interpreter traveled to The Hague. A multilingual and multi-identity lady, she is searching for a place she can finally call home.

She finds herself enmeshed in simmering personal dramas: Adriaan, her lover, is still married to his wife despite their separation. When the interpreter befriends the victim's sister, she gets increasingly fixated on the tragedy that her friend Jana witnessed—a apparently random act of violence. Additionally, she gets dragged into hot political situations: her job as an interpreter for a former president under investigation for war crimes becomes dangerous as their bond is strained by changing meanings and phrasing.

Many people hear this woman's voice, but what authority does it offer her, and how exposed does that leave her? Her calmly passionate opinions on violence, power, and love are put to the test in both her intimate relationships and her work at the Court. She is soon forced to the brink, where heartache and treachery threaten to overtake her; her will to find love and the truth highlights what she truly wants out of life.
