This short was created as part of the Nordic Factory, which brings together directors from different countries to make a film. In this case: a short film about a confusion of tongues.
The point of view keeps changing in Listen. A woman wearing a veil tells her story; that story is translated; the translatin is heard. But the translation falters, and the hearing falters. The resulting Babylonian confusion becomes a threat to the speakers life. Or was there ill will from the start?
