A criminal gang really runs this boarding school for the deaf, and a teenager has just arrived. There’s no audible dialogue, no subtitles and no music, only sign language and the sounds of the room. Myroslav Slaboshpytskyi grew up opposite a school like this and cast people who had never acted.
When Sergey arrives at a boarding school for the deaf, the pecking order is already in place. It’s run by a group that calls itself the Tribe, which lives off robbery and prostitution and allows its members no life outside it. Sergey proves rather useful to their business, and then he meets Anna.
