Overview
The Nizhny Novgorod Youth Theatre troupe is rehearsing William Gibson's play "The Miracle Worker." In search of authenticity, the actors find themselves behind the scenes of blindness and deafness. They enter the real world of a boy named Petya, his mother, and his teacher. Episodes from the play about the education of a deaf-blind child unexpectedly echo real life, but reality is always more complex and profound than fiction.
