A reminder that communication is deeper than sound
What may first appear to be a simple love story is quickly transcended by the film’s deeper, more powerful theme: the reality of living with a deaf disability.
The movie gracefully explores a range of topics, from the everyday challenges of deafness to the subtle and not-so-subtle discrimination faced by those in the deaf community. It gives voice to a group often unheard, and it does so without relying on gimmicks or pity. One line in particular captures the heart of this message: “Being able to hear and speak doesn’t mean they know how to communicate”. That alone is worth reflecting on.
At its core, the film is about empathy and connection. It highlights how difficult it can be to live in a world that lacks understanding and how isolating it is when others assume communication only exists in spoken words. The love story, while slightly rushed, is still charming and sweet, thanks in large part to the natural chemistry between the leads.
There is also a meaningful layer about the struggle to find balance as a person, especially if you’re someone who constantly puts others before yourself. The film is a gentle reminder to those people: your happiness matters too. This theme is beautifully reflected in the dynamic between the two sisters. It draws a parallel between those who are isolated by a disability and those who isolate themselves by sacrificing their own desires.
The performances across the board are excellent. The soundtrack is tender and fitting, with emotional instrumental tracks that enhance every key moment without ever feeling overbearing.
In the end, the film is deeper than it first appears. It is thoughtful, moving, and an important reminder that disability doesn’t mean inferiority. As one character wisely says, “They are different from us, but they are not in a different world”.
