story
This is a story about forbidden love between deaf-mute woman, painter Slava Raškaj and her mentor Bela Čikoš at the beginning of 20th century. The society has rejected Slava because she was deaf-mute, because she was a woman and above all because she didn't want to be a part of mass, a part of fake artistic society. The only one who could save her was her teacher and lover, Bela. He must choose between mass and love.
