Synopsis
A deaf woman is about to have a daughter with her hearing partner. The arrival of the child will alter their relationship, and forces the woman to face the task of raising the baby in a world that is not made for her. Starring Miriam Garlo, the director’s sister and Álvaro Cervantes, this exploration of maternal fears in a society designed by and for hearing people won a standing ovation and the Audience Award at the Berlinale.
