Amara speaks seven languages, but she has not spoken aloud to another human being in three years. After surviving the 1994 Rwandan genocide as a child, language became her refuge, and then her heaviest burden.

For twenty years, she worked in a glass booth at the International Criminal Tribunal in The Hague. There, she translated the testimonies of survivors and perpetrators with agonising neutrality - even the cold, administrative confession of her own father's killer.
