Deaf

Angela carries the weight of her deafness as she approaches motherhood, wondering how she and her baby will bond when sound isn’t the easy bridge many parents rely on. The film follows her pregnancy and the early days after birth as she and Héctor try to read their child’s cues in a world that often overlooks nonverbal communication. When their daughter arrives, Angela must manage feeding and soothing while learning new ways to talk with her child. The drama looks at what family needs when communication comes from gesture, eye contact, and patience rather than spoken language.

Directed by Eva Libertad, Deaf is an original drama centered on a couple navigating motherhood through deafness. The 2025 release stars Miriam Garlo as Angela, Álvaro Cervantes as Héctor, and Elena Irureta as Elvira.

Critics note the film's intimate focus on living with hearing loss and the practicalities of parenting. It invites viewers to consider inclusion, accessible communication, and the resilience of a couple trying to create a safe space for their child.
