Spanish with English subtitles
Charo Mato’s autobiographical documentary is a poignant exploration of her life journey. Diagnosed with bilateral sensorineural progressive hearing loss in first grade, she became fully deaf by 23, opting for cochlear implants against her parents’ wishes. The film, structured around eight stories, seamlessly weaves childhood memories, scientific explanations, and poetic reflections on life and language. Mato uses the documentary as a personal processing tool, resulting in a beautiful and highly intimate celebration of the experiences of those with hearing loss.
