Finding your next obsession

In a world that doesn’t hear him, his story still echoes.
A deaf boy in the era of totalitarian Czechoslovakia faces a major turning point in his life – the beginning of compulsory attendance at a special boarding kindergarten. While he has no idea what the future holds, his mother is going through an inner struggle, grappling with a system she cannot change. The story captures a moment of closeness, separation, and two different perspectives on the world.
