Eva Libertad’s movie, starring Miriam Garlo, Álvaro Cervantes, Elena Irureta, and Joaquín Notario, will debut in the Berlinale’s Panorama section.
Deaf (Sorda) is the title of Spanish filmmaker Eva Libertad’s new feature, adapted from her 2023 Goya Award-nominated short of the same name, that will be world premiering in the Panorama section of the 75th edition of the Berlin Film Festival.
The movie, written and directed by Libertad, stars Miriam Garlo, who also featured in the short, Álvaro Cervantes, Elena Irureta, and Joaquín Notario.
“Ángela, a deaf woman, is expecting a child with her hearing partner, Héctor,” reads the synopsis. “The baby’s arrival causes a crisis in their relationship, forcing Ángela to face the challenges of raising her daughter in a world which is not made for her.”
Two clips from the film, which THR can exclusively reveal, provide a first glimpse of and feel for the new movie.
The first clip sees the new parents jointly telling their baby a children’s story about the sun, the clouds, the wind, and the mountains.
Clip number 2 is full of emotion. After all, what starts off as a family meal outdoors with happy news gets threatened by surprise, worries, and mixed emotions.
Deaf is produced by Miriam Porté for Distinto Films in co-production with Nuria Muñoz Ortín for Nexus CreaFilms and Amalia Blanco for A Contracorriente Films.
The Berlin Film Festival 2025 runs Feb. 13-23.
