Plot

Vera is a middle-aged sign language interpreter, whose life is disrupted by her husband's suicide who has to face the raw reality of going against the deep-seated gender issues of our times.

Sinekatalog’s take

A sign language interpreter faces the harsh reality of her husband's suicide and the gendered pressures that follow. A serious drama with a thriller edge, it looks like a striking portrait of resilience in a conservative society.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
