[2] Rita is going through a rough time as her boyfriend, Alyosha, a compulsive roulette player, has accumulated a massive debt, putting both their lives at risk.

While leaving, she crosses paths with Yaya, a deaf dancer at the restaurant, who helps her escape.

Despite being deaf, Yaya understands hearing people well and convinces Rita to move on from Alyosha, asserting that all men are selfish and encouraging her to live only for herself.

The two women become inseparable, with Yaya teaching Rita sign language and sharing her dream of amassing enough money to move to the "Country of the Deaf," where people like her can live freely without limitations.

[3] At the Nika Award the film received the prizes for Best Female Actor (Dina Korzun) and Best Sound Design (Gleb Kravetsky).
