Strana Glukhikh is about an unusual relationship between two women, one of them a deaf-mute dancer and the other on the run from the mafia.

A darkly whimsical journey about two women seeking refuge from the world. It's a strange, offbeat tale of unlikely connection and a desperate search for an imagined paradise, tinged with melancholy and off-kilter humor.
