Abstract: This documentary explores deaf life and culture in France, and the growing controversy involving "curing" deafness. Includes portraits of a charismatic sign language teacher, a woman treated as mentally ill because her hearing problem was misdiagnosed, a young man who remembers the first horrifying experience of hearing with an aid, and a newlywed deaf couple trying to communicate with a real estate agent.
