Arine’s financial struggles force her to move back to her hometown, where she takes a job interpreting for Guatemalan farm workers and their Canadian employers. Her role requires her to remain impartial, but when she witnesses the migrant workers’ ongoing mistreatment, she cannot stay silent. She may be the only person who sees them not as mere wage laborers, but as human beings.
