Duration: 13'30''


A new inmate in a prison cell is assaulted because he does not act "like the others" and he does not respect "the rules". He does not answer back to insults. He does not react to punches. It seems that he does not understand, or that he will not or cannot answer. Is he deaf, dumb, a foreigner; or, does he simply refuse to talk to his jailers. Shot like a short fiction film, it is an adaptation of the play of the same name by the Czech playwright (and president), Vaclav Havel.
