AbstractHistoryArchive Description
A woman (named AA in the script) abruptly marries a man she has never met. After their first night together, she realises that he is deaf, mute, and possibly Albanian: they have no way of communicating with each other. The husband seems content with AA. AA struggles to accept him as her husband, but eventually sees it as an opportunity to say whatever she wants, even in made-up languages.
