About the Film

El-Sayed, a Bedouin village nestled in the scenic landscape of the Negev Desert, is home to the largest community of deaf people in the world. Through the generations a unique sign language has evolved becoming the most popular form of communication in a society where the hearing and deaf coexist easily. The calm of this remote society is disrupted when one father, Salim, decides to get a cochlear implant for his son, Muhammad, and members of the community resist his decision. Muhammad's struggles with the results of the procedure are further complicated by the fact that El-Sayed lies outside of Israel's electric infrastructure, making it nearly impossible for his parents to maintain the implant's functionality. Director Oded Adomi Leshem's cinema verite style brings this unique community to life in such a way that we understand how the gift of hearing may feel like the loss of community and identity.
