Deaf must watch!
I had the pleasure of watching this movie and talking with the director afterwards, at a film festival. It's amazing how well they taught the actors to sign, I wouldn't have guessed they didn't know HKSL before!
The story is so heartbreaking and hopeful in its realism.
This movie shows so many sides of what it means to be Deaf in a world that wants to eradicate your culture and language, going so far as banning sign language in schools. It's visually pretty, but most importantly, it's so deliberate with how it uses sound. I cannot recommend it enough.
