Why would one decide to leave deafness for a new sound world? After 65 years of silence, Paul and Sally Taylor decide to undergo cochlear implant surgery and explore a totally unfamiliar world – the realm of sound.

In this deeply personal memoir, filmmaker Irene Taylor Brodsky documents her deaf parents’ complex decision to undergo a risky and controversial medical procedure – the only one that can actually restore a sense. This is a magical and deeply moving love story of two people who embark on an extraordinary journey from silence to sound. The question is, what will they make of it? And what might they gain, or lose, forever? ACCESSIBLE TO DEAF AND HARD OF HEARING PEOPLE
