Tesla is a comedy about listening, or more precisely, not listening. It's the colorful tale of an earnest engineering student forced to take desperate action in order to make herself heard by her agonizingly masculine downstairs neighbor — who may or may not be playing the loud music that's keeping her awake at night. The film is an ironic look at what happens when men refuse to listen to women, and ultimately makes an appeal for us all to stop assuming and just ... listen.
