Well, I saw Qov suggest to someone that a film summary would be quite a
good idea. Don't think I've seen the film she wanted doing but I'll try
my hand at a different one.
"cha' HuDmey nIb: mutlha' qul" 'oH *film* pong'e'

Now I'll try putting that into English. I've repeated myself a bit in
parts because following my last missive using relative clauses I'm not
too sure I want to have my work ripped to tiny pieces again. I'd
appreciate a little primer on how to do them on one or two bits because
the TKD is a little awkward at describing them.
Big gap here so you can see if you can work out what the hell I'm on
about without seeing my translation.
The film's name is "Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me"
The film tells the story of a girl
The girl dies in the film (yes, locatives with non-physicals but I don't
know how to express it otherwise)
Her father kills her
Her father is not in control of himself (relative clause, possibly?)
An entity inhabits her father
The entity's name is BOB (relative clause again?)
The girl allows her father to kill her
She wants to die
BOB has always (sexually) abused her (perfective necessary? and I wanted
to say for all of her life but couldn't)
Now she has died, BOB cannot abuse her
When she dies, she goes to a red room
In the red room, she meets (for the first time) the one who will study
her death
The one who will study her death is a man
The man's name is Dale.
They see an angel and Laura (the girl) cries.
Well, that's the film in a very bad nut shell (me basically picking out
easy-ish points to express). Like I say, if I'd been writing that in
English I would have said something like
"In the red room, she meets (for the first time) the person who will
study her death who is man whose name is Dale." Lots of relative
clauses though and I'm not very confident at using them after last time.
And it also involved naming someone which is a pain in the behind.
