Zosia is a 13-year-old CODA— a hearing child of deaf parents. She sets off with her father to fight for a chance to compete in her dream swimming competition, from which she was disqualified due to her father’s oversight. Along the way, complications arise that place Zosia in the role of translator and mediator between her deaf father and the rest of the world. Having a voice becomes not only a privilege but also a burden for the girl.
🎬 Herstory | Directed by Tomasz Stuleblak | Cinematography by Daniel Le Hai & Jan Barszczewski | Production Management by Dorota Chłapek, Aleksandra Gajdosz & Weronika Podgórska | 2023
