A commercial traveller and a girl. His medicines are fake; she plays deaf and dumb. Attractive small-scale feature about a man who returns after years of absence to an important spot from his past. Parallel to that, the film tells the story of a girl who must cope with her ordinary and frustrating life. The man arrives as a traveling salesman of fake medicine.
