Synopsis

An introspective story about three friends with different hearing abilities: Wolf confidently uses sign language; Alan is an advocate for diverse modes of communication within communities with hearing loss; and Sophie continually strives to be treated as “normal.” The three embark on a journey of self-discovery, experiencing moments of pain and personal growth. A powerful film that strongly opposes disability discrimination and the social marginalization of those affected.
