Program Note

A hearing-impaired man raises a baby alone after his girlfriend carelessly leaves them behind . When he unexpectedly meets her again a long time later, he hears some shocking news. Despite his inner turmoil, the man’s resolute attitude and the gentle movements of the camera convey a peculiar serenity. In particular, the words of confession and self-determination that he conveys to the baby, who cannot comprehend spoken or sign language, deeply move the heart. This is a precious love story.
