The Tribe

The Ukrainian youth drama dispenses with words and uses sign language only - no subtitles. An uncompromising cinema adventure which was rewarded with the European Film Prize. "With its aesthetics and experimental conception, Slaboshpitsky is clearly at the height of the most advanced world cinema." (Frankfurter Allgemeine Sonntagszeitung) "THE TRIBE feels unmistakably, radically new, a daring cinema coup." (Variety) Sergey is new at the boarding school for the deaf. He quickly meets young people of an organized gang, "The Tribe" (The Tribe), in which violence and harassment with relentless dynamism dominate life. Inevitably Sergey must also assert himself until he is forced to break the tribal code.
