< THE ALIEN>
In a small village in the Ural Mountains all people except one – the hearing impaired half-wit Lyosha – lead ordinary lives. Lyosha lives in a makeshift house of garbage and spends his days creating circles in the fields and trying to catch a radio signal from an extraterrestrial civilization. The laughing stock of this village, everything changes for Lyosha when he finally encounters the one he’s been hoping to meet for so long.
