SYNOPSIS OF THE STORY📷“The Translator” revolves around the main character, Rosli a Malay language teacher who, by accident became a movie translator to the villagers of Kg. Tokku Mangkok, a rural fishing village in Terengganu.After translating a series of foreign movies to the villagers, Rosli started to become disillusioned with the lives of the celebrities that he saw on screen and dreamt of leading a glamorous life. This is what he feels when the villagers praised and looked up to him whenever he played his part as a translator that Rosli felt his life and his work are plain, dull and meaningless. He finally became disenchanted between his real life and fantasy life portrayed through the movies and ended up resenting everything about the actors and the lives they lead. Eventually, he became a bitter person and seemed to be lost; harbouring between what is real and what is not that he tore the movie screen at the end of the movie and ran into the darkness.
