Ángela (Garlo) is expecting a child with her hearing partner Héctor. They are aware that their daughter has a 50% chance of being deaf.

Featuring an outstanding performance from Garlo, “Deaf” honestly portrays the complexities of being deaf in a hearing world.
Nominada a siete Goyas y ganadora del Premio del Público Panorama en el Festival de Cine de Berlín, la ópera prima de Eva Libertad profundiza en las ideas que ella y su hermana, la actriz sorda Miriam Garlo, exploraron en el cortometraje del mismo nombre. Ángela (Garlo) está esperando una hija con su pareja oyente, Héctor; ambos son conscientes de que su hija tiene un 50% de probabilidad de salir sorda. Dar a luz a Ona fue difícil, pero también lo es ser la mejor madre posible a pesar de todos los desafíos. Con una interpretación excepcional de Garlo, “Sorda” retrata con honestidad las complejidades de ser sordo en un mundo oyente.
