Ángela, a Deaf woman, and Héctor, her hearing partner, are expecting their first child. They are a couple in love, full of excitement and all the questions that first-time parents have. However, Ángela’s pregnancy triggers fears about motherhood and how she will be able to communicate with her daughter. When the baby is born, they have to wait a few months to know if she can hear or not. Ángela can’t help feeling bouts of jealousy and insecurity. She's not sure whether she would like her child to be hearing or Deaf. Héctor is almost certain that the child will be able to hear. A dangerous rift begins to grow between them. Director Eva Libertad expanded her Goya-nominated short film of the same name, and together with magnificent actress Miriam Garlo, her sister in real life, she portrays with simplicity and poignant authenticity the daily life of a first-time mother, raising a daughter in a world of sounds. Winner of the International Confederation of Arthouse Cinemas and the coveted Audience Award at the Panorama Section of the Berlinale, Libertad's debut feature, inspired by the experience and bond with her own sister, offers a personal, vital, and profoundly moving look into the complexity and rarely explored relationship between the deaf and hearing worlds.
