Synopsis
Growing up deaf in a hearing world, then meeting young people like herself… questioning her identity, without viewing deafness as an inescapable fate.
About
Director’s biography
After studying cinema, culture and communication, editing was an obvious choice for me. I like working on films that are meaningful, and ideally documentaries. For my graduation film at La Fémis, I was keen to make a film about deafness, a subject close to my heart.
Director’s note
I was born deaf but grew up in a hearing world. Making this movie helped me understand my own identity as a young deaf person. My purpose was also to break the silence on disability as a source of sadness and unhappiness, and to talk about it in a positive way.
