In a café-centre for the deaf and dumb in Algiers, men live and work, slaves to the rhythm of the comforting and comfortable choreography of human bodies. Here, they may know all about hardship and rejection, but they also know how to remain strong and dignified. In front of the camera, two worlds collide.
