The Tribe

2014 · 132 min

A wordless, unflinching plunge into a brutal institutional underworld, where every gesture carries menace and tenderness is crushed by violence.

Tagline
Love and hate need no translation.
Overview
Deaf-mute Sergey enters a specialized boarding school for the deaf. In navigating through the school's hierarchy, he encounters a corrupt underbelly of criminality, known as The Tribe. By participating in several robberies, he gets propelled higher into the organization, when he meets one of the Chief’s concubines Anya, and unwittingly breaks all the unwritten rules of the group."
