Translating Ulysses plot

The Kurdish refugee Kawa Nemir, who lives in the Netherlands, decides to translate James Joyce's literary classic Ulysses into his native language. This noble endeavor has a deeper meaning, since the Kurdish language is still banned in Turkey. Nemir's intention is therefore not only a search for the right words, but also an investigation into the meaning of a language.
