What happens

The End of Silence is a 2005 Canadian romantic drama film, directed by Anita Doron. The film stars Ekaterina Shchelkanova as Darya, a Russian ballerina who decides to abandon her dance company after an argument with her director (Max Ratevosian) while on tour in Toronto; without money and with very little knowledge of English to communicate, she is preparing to return home to Russia on her own when she meets Eddie (John Tokatlidis), who becomes a love interest despite their communication barriers. The film also stars Sarah Harmer as Nora, Eddie's ex-wife who remains friendly with him despite their separation, and who also becomes a friend and employer to Darya. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
