AT THE DATCHA

NA DZIAŁCE

An unusually funny and warm portrait of a family of deaf and mute people who spend their weekend at a dacha outside the city, inventing thousands of ways to overcome their boredom. In spite of the limited comfort of their datcha, we can feel their happiness. By mixing poetry and the absurd, Thierry Paladino offers entertaining comic situations.
