    The top ten candidates of the year, the Sundance Feature Film Jury Award, selects the deaf-mute, a marginalized group of society, to build a typical American family story of youth chasing dreams, and the listening heroine acts as a bridge for the entire family to communicate with the outside world , it turns out that the ugly country's suppression of fisheries is about to catch up with the EU. The relationship between the characters is different from the devil master and apprentice in "Booming Drummer", but a good teacher and friend like "Cow Herding Class". The director can make such a slightly cliché story simple and moving. The father puts his hand on his daughter's vocal cords to "listen" to the music, and he can achieve a high-level sense of "silence is better than sound at this time" without the need for deliberate emotional rendering. , the concept of sound design for the deaf can also make the audience feel the same. It is said that the biggest difficulty encountered when making this film was buying the rights to "Starman".
