Experience a unique look at love in the Deaf community with the Australian premiere of this highly moving documentary.

Three love stories. One shared language.

In this intimate film, three Deaf couples share their remarkable love stories through Irish Sign Language: a decades-long forbidden romance across a religious divide; an LGBTQIA+ couple navigating parenthood with Deaf and hearing children; and a Deaf boxer and his hearing partner facing a life-altering choice.

A cinematic celebration of resilience, connection and enduring love, this is Ireland’s first feature film in Irish Sign Language, produced by a Deaf and hearing team and directed by award-winning filmmaker Garry Keane (Gaza, In the Shadow of Beirut).

This session includes an introduction by Deaf director and MPhil candidate Sam Martin (Sign on Screen project).
