SYNOPSIS
Sveta - a hearing impaired woman faces a very difficult life challenge. She is in danger of losing her job as a foreman in a sewing shop. Her husband Ruslan took a passive position. Thus, Sveta decides to fight in every way possible for the apartment, for the little "world" that she, an invalid, created with such difficulty.
DIRECTING INTENTION
People with disabilities in Kazakhstan - are a socially vulnerable segment of society. Studying this subject, I learned that people with disabilities rarely become criminals because of certain physical limitations. They are rarely being sent to prisons because of courts' condescending attitude towards them. I was interested to see how the story of a crime and moral degradation of the main character Sveta and her husband Ruslan develops in an environment where a child had to fight to survive and prove their right to live a normal life.
