- Summary:
- "Julia, a normal girl, sees her life transformed when a disease leaves her with the consequence of deafness. Immersed in a world of silence, she struggles to adapt to a listening society that does not understand her special condition. Crises, loneliness and their desire to listen again accompany her throughout her childhood and adolescence. In her youth, a cochlear implant operation fills her with hope, in some way returning the hearing. However, his struggle against stigmas, obstacles and discrimination continues. The tenacity of the young woman pushes her forward, motivated by the warmth of filial relationships, friendship, and, also, complicated love."--Amazon.com translation.
