Tinne Zenner's 'Translations' (in Greenlandic: 'Nutsigassat') reflects on the power of language as a colonizer of foreign landscapes. A critical and graceful 16mm film in which the vistas of Greenland create a space for free thinking.

Miki is of Greenlandic descent, but grew up in Sweden. He travels to Nuuk for the first time to relax and meet his distant relatives. But suddenly he is whirled into the petty crime of cousin Kunuk and his gang. Within an instant, Miki is in charge of two tons of stolen fireworks, some buddies who do not quite understand him, a sweet girl, and the city's mafia boss are hot on his heels.
