Synopsis
In the Bélier family, everyone is deaf, except dutiful sixteen-year-old Paula. She acts as an indispensible interpreter for her parents and younger brother, especially in the running of the family dairy farm.
Though her salt-of-the-earth father has decided to run for mayor – spurred on by her vivacious but over-involved mother – Paula’s attentions are very much elsewhere. She’s witnessed the handsome new boy at school sign up for the choir, and impulsively joined too. It’s not long before her music teacher discovers her considerable talent, however his encouragement only exacerbates the matter of Paula’s independence…
