Dai grows up in a small town, interpreting for his loving deaf parents, until he moves to Tokyo in search of his own independent life. The film subtly portrays his unique worldview without ever resorting to condescension or pity. Filled with empathy and hope, O’s sensitively observed drama moves beyond the idea of deafness as a limitation and instead makes us feel part of the rich lifeworlds of those who cannot hear.
