The movie’s plot is based on carrying out rehearsals at the theater of the deaf, where the hard process of the hard of hearing directors’ and actors’ work is shown. Their constant search for forms, images, and unique ways to convey the drama to the audience without saying a word. It is like silent cinematography; it is a unique and international sign language. Besides, between rehearsals, we see «behind the scenes» of the theater – the work and routine of hard-of-hearing lighting men, make-up artists, and costume designers.

During breaks, actors bring up stories from theater life, amusing incidents, and their troubles adjusting to the world of people without hearing impairments.

The movie's central character is an Honored Artist of Ukraine and an actor, who has been in the original cast of the theater since its establishment, Vasyl Styopkin, who will guide us through the theater’s history. Every so often, shots of modern times shift to newsreel, and the images of the theater in the past show up, where we see young Styopkin, and then we go back to our time again.

The war that relentlessly devastates Ukraine affects not only people but also infiltrates the wild nature. It kills rare species, destroys ecosystems, accelerates climate change, and leaves behind silent landscapes. An eco-journalist embarks on a 9,000-kilometer journey across the war-torn country to document the scale of ecocide affecting nature reserves and national parks in the heart of Europe. Her route takes her through scorched steppes, mined forests, and dried-up rivers. From the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone to the shores of the Black Sea, she records the impact on wildlife to draw the attention of the international environmental community and human rights defenders. Along the way, the audience meets a scientist studying how warfare alters the biosphere and a chiropterologist rescuing bat populations. They continue their fight for nature's survival, even in places where explosions echo daily. The eco-journalist documents not only visible destruction but also the disappearance of nature's sounds. She begins recording soundscapes of areas affected by warfare, comparing them to pre-war archival recordings. This attempt to hear the voice of nature itself evolves into a unique study, giving traditional war crime documentation a new dimension, infused with profound emotional power. Each of them does everything possible to preserve what can still be saved. But can they stop a process that may change the biosphere forever?

This film is a reminder that the traces of wars remain in nature for generations to come, but despite the loss, it is important to keep fighting for the future of the planet.
