Description:
Three
people, two ways of perceiving reality and one family. The film is a
portrait of deaf parents and their twelve-year old daughter. Laura
takes on the role of her father and mother’s mouths and ears
helping them in everyday activities, such as, for example, buying
coal. In the film she is also the medium that, with empathy,
introduces the spectator to the daily life of people with
disabilities. Not only is she the narrator, but also the transmitter
of emotions that could not have found an outlet to the world of the
hearing without her assistance.
