Translations from the East

The whole film has three but in reality two main characters Most of the action takes place in a country house home to the pair She a Japanese translator he a man without a definite occupation lover of the texts of Nietzsche which he reads fluently in its original language and St Augustine who is quoted in Latin They are Moscow intelligentsia who have emigrating to their own cultural space A couple so different that it is difficult to understand what keeps them together It seems they live together not because of but rather in spite of everything that is happening or rather not happening between them
