Deaf

(Sorda)

Hector and Ángela share an idyllic relationship, undisturbed by her deafness. Yet as they prepare for parenthood, doubts begin to surface. Each partner hopes their child will understand and connect with them, but whether the child can hear or not, there is a risk that they will belong to only one parent’s world. This intimate exploration of relationships and the limits of understanding marks the debut of a director who cast her own deaf sister in the lead role. Their shared life and conversations inspired a film that conveys, with remarkable empathy, the experience of social exclusion.
