This short film was commissioned by Australia's National Relay Service, a government program that helps the hearing communicate with the deaf via telephone. As this young couple get to know each other—and their respective worlds—they find a connection that's deeper than sing language and lip-reading. Headphones aren't needed to enjoy this film. In fact, it was created so that you can place your hands on the speakers and feel the soundtrack as you follow the dialogue.
