Sweet Nothing in My Ear

This powerful drama follows Dan and Laura Miller, a deaf couple struggling to decide whether or not to give their deaf son, Adam, a cochlear implant that will allow him to hear again. The film explores the complexities of this decision through flashbacks that delve into the effects of deafness on the Millers' family dynamics and relationships, as well as the broader cultural implications of living with a disability. Starring Jeff Daniels and Marlee Matlin, who studied American Sign Language for the role, Sweet Nothing in My Ear is a thought-provoking exploration of identity, community, and what it means to be deaf in a hearing world.
