Summary of Lea
This powerful romance proves that true love can emerge from the most unlikely of places. Lea (Lenka Vlasakova) is a mute 21-year-old who is still affected by a major childhood trauma, while Herbert (Christian Redl) is a sad 51-year-old who continues to mourn the death of his wife. Lea strikingly resembles Herbert's wife, which sparks a connection that eventually results in marriage.

Featuring impassioned performances by Vlasakova and Redl, Ivan Fila's film is a touching romantic drama.
