A poster of two women sitting at a dining table doing activities, with a pink wall and a large blue sticky note above them that says, "Please Translate."

Synopsis

Please Translate explores how language can act both as a barrier and an effective tool to help bridge the relationship between a Chinese immigrant mother, and her American-born daughter. In a film about sacrifice, hardships, and ultimately a mother’s love, Please Translate exemplifies that nothing –not even linguistic differences– can stand in the way of the special bond between mother and daughter.
