“No English” a social experiment in which two new friends from different countries voluntarily decide to spend the day together without speaking English, their only common language, for one entire day, during their artist residency in rural northwest Iceland.
The film follows Aaron, a filmmaker from the Philippines, and Agnieszka, an artist from Poland, as they try to survive household chores, the cold outdoors, bad food, and each other, while understanding nothing of what the other person is saying.
