Angela, a ceramic artist who is deaf, and her hearing husband Hector are expecting their first
child. But joy is shadowed by uncertainty: will their baby be able to hear, and how will they
connect with their mother? As Angela embraces motherhood in a society that too often
marginalizes her, Hector finds himself caught between the deaf and hearing worlds. Intimate yet
universal, this deeply moving story – drawn from the autobiographical experience of actress
Miriam Garlo, who portrays Angela – offers a rare and essential exploration of deaf motherhood.
Acclaimed at festivals and honored with multiple awards, it stands as both a personal testimony
and a powerful cinematic act of representation.
