Rita is going through a rough time as her boyfriend, Alyosha, a compulsive
roulette player, has accumulated a massive debt, putting both their lives at risk. During a tense meeting with his creditor at a restaurant, Alyosha suddenly disappears, leaving Rita alone to face the creditor. While leaving, she crosses paths with Yaya, a
deaf dancer at the restaurant, who helps her escape. Despite being deaf, Yaya understands hearing people well and convinces Rita to move on from Alyosha, asserting that all men are selfish and encouraging her to live only for herself. The two women become inseparable, with Yaya teaching Rita sign language and sharing her dream of amassing enough money to move to the "Country of the Deaf," where people like her can live freely without limitations. Rita, at first skeptical, warms up to the idea. They attempt to earn money through prostitution but fail, leading Yaya to introduce Rita to Pig, the leader of a deaf gang, who offers Rita a job as his "ears," posing as his wife to help him avoid danger. However, when Rita reunites with Alyosha, their friendship faces tension. Yaya eventually tries to warn Rita about Alyosha's selfishness, but Rita remains loyal. Following a fallout, Rita returns to Alyosha, only for him to squander her savings and abandon her. Yaya then approaches the creditor, begging him to punish Alyosha but spare Rita. In a final showdown between deaf and hearing gangs, all the gang members perish, leaving only Yaya and a now partially deafened Rita. Realizing they are bound together forever, the two women walk into the distance, finding solace in their friendship. ==Cast==
