DEAF

• Álvaro Cervantes (VALLEY OF THE DEAD, THE FINAL GAME)
• Elena Irureta (A MOROCCAN AFFAIR, TAKE MY EYES)

Director Eva Libertad tackles an unprecedented theme in cinema: the relationship between a deaf woman and motherhood. The film tells the semi-biographical story of its lead, the deaf actress Miriam Garlo, whose performance evokes strong parallels with Marlee Matlin’s Oscar-winning portrayal in CHILDREN OF A LESSER GOD. She is joined by Goya-nominated Álvaro Cervantes (THE SEX OF THE ANGELS), and the veteran Elena Irureta (PATRIA). Through the clever use of sound effects, the film not only fosters empathy for people with hearing impairments but also allows the audience to experience their joys and frustrations firsthand.

When deaf Angela expects a child with her hearing partner Hector, her fears about motherhood surface as she confronts the reality of raising a baby in a world not built for her.
