Write a short summary of what happens in the film
The Tale of the Deaf is a horror film about the life of a deaf-mute shadow play actor trying to capture the attention of paupers in a shabby pub. Suddenly, a mysterious stranger enters the establishment, carrying a hypnotizing barrel organ. His musical act drives all the guests insane, sucking their souls out. The organ grinder however never expected one of the paupers to simply not hear his diabolical melody.
Cultural / Context information for the jury
What really makes this movie stand out is that the lead role was played not by a professional actor, but by a popular Russian rapper, Husky. An underground musician who never gives interviews and never participates in any outside projects suddenly appears before the audience as an actor, and the one with a really complex part—the role of a deaf-mute shadow play artist.
