- Synopsis
- Young MMA (Mixed Martial Arts) fighter, Khavaj fled Chechnya when his brother discovered his homosexuality and promised to kill him, under the pressure of Kadyrov’s regime.
  In Brussels, facing the shock of exil, he is struck by mutism. The only link that he keeps with Chechnya are the vocal messages that his mother sends him.
  The film traces Khavaj’s first months in Belgium: forced to live in total anonymity to escape the Chechen diaspora, he will try to build a new identity.
