A couple live and work in Chernobyl. Every day has a fixed ritual that is simultaneously sad and hopeful. Beautifully shot, restrained and touching.

Nuclear Waste, 

Nuclear Waste

A newcomer arrives at a boarding school for deaf teenagers. Their world is defined by power, violence and exploitation. To survive there, you have to be like them. And only love can be your escape. A radical drama without a single dialogue but with gestures which are more powerful than any words.
