Pros: Complicated, well-acted and thought-provoking.

Pros: Viewpoint of growing up with deafness
Cons: Subtitled
Germany makes films?? Besides "Das Boot," can you name one? You WILL after seeing this award-winner. Dubbed the next "Shine," this film brings us into a world many of us forget exists...the world of the deaf.
