adapt entirely to the hearing world. He meets Elena, a deaf young woman with a passion for
poetry who is fighting for her right to education. Their love becomes a source of strength as they
face the pressures and limitations imposed by family and society. With this film, Liliana Cavani
made a significant contribution to the representation of the deaf community and to promoting its
integration in Italy.
