ABOUT THE FILM

Ángela a deaf woman and Héctor, her hearing partner, are expecting their first child. They are a couple in love, full of the excitement and all the questions that first parents have. However, Angela’s pregnancy triggers fears about motherhood and how she will be able to communicate with her daughter. When the baby is born, they have to wait a few months to know if she can hear or not. Angela can’t help feeling bouts of jealousy, and insecurity: she's not sure whether she would like her child to be hearing or deaf. Héctor is almost certain that the child will be able to hear. A dangerous rift begins to grow between.

Director Eva Libertad expanded her Goya-nominated short film of the same name, and together with magnificent actress Miriam Garlo, her sister in real life, portrays with simplicity and poignant authenticity the daily life of a first-time mother, raising a daughter in a world of sounds. Winner of more than ten awards since its premiere, including the Audience Award at the Berlinale 2025, Libertad's debut feature, inspired by the experience and bond with her own sister, offers a personal, vital and profoundly moving look into the complexity and rarely explored relationship between the deaf and hearing worlds.

Winner of Berlin Film Festival’s Arthouse Cinema Award, plus six awards at Málaga Film Festival, including Best Film, Best Actress, and Best Actor, Audience Award, and Best Feature Film Debut.

SORDA – En español

Ángela, una mujer sorda, y Héctor, su pareja oyente, esperan su primer hijo. Son una pareja enamorada, llena de ilusión y de todas las preguntas que tienen los padres primerizos. Sin embargo, el embarazo de Ángela despierta temores sobre la maternidad y cómo podrá comunicarse con su hija. Cuando nace la bebé, tienen que esperar unos meses para saber si puede oír o no. Ángela no puede evitar sentir celos e inseguridad: no está segura de si le gustaría que su hija fuera oyente o sorda. Héctor está casi seguro de que la niña podrá oír. Una peligrosa brecha comienza a crecer entre ellos. La directora Eva Libertad amplió su cortometraje homónimo, nominado al Goya, y junto con la magnífica actriz Miriam Garlo, su hermana en la vida real, retrata con sencillez y una autenticidad conmovedora la vida cotidiana de una madre primeriza, criando a su hija en un mundo de sonidos. Ganadora de más de diez premios desde su estreno entre ellos el premio del público en la Berlinale 2025, el primer largometraje de Libertad, inspirado en la experiencia y el vínculo con su propia hermana, ofrece una mirada personal, vital y profundamente conmovedora de la complejidad y la relación raramente explorada entre los mundos quienes pueden y no pueden oir.
