"Great Silence" (2005, France, Switzerland, Germany)
The film is almost without words. Because his heroes are quite happy without them: in this monastery, in the depths of the French Alps, the monks are accepted by silence.

Odessans - they are in Africa Odessans. Not to mention Israel or New York. Probably in Odessa air there is something that is why you become just inimitable!
