Listen

In "Listen," a foreign woman cloaked in a burqa arrives at a Copenhagen police station with her young son, seeking refuge from her abusive husband. But as she struggles to communicate through a reluctant translator, the system designed to protect her instead reveals its own biases and flaws. This tense, powerful drama exposes the cracks in our cultural understanding and the human cost of bureaucratic indifference.
