"Seeing an entire theater applauding in sign language is very exciting."

Powered by the recent success at the Malaga Festival and his passage through the Berlinale, Deaf arrives in theaters this Friday, already becoming one of the films of the year. Eva Libertad portrays a beautiful love story, which transforms when the couple decides to have a child. The fact that she is deaf and he is hearing—extraordinary Miriam Garlo and Álvaro Cervantes, award-winners in Málaga—conditions everything: the reaction of the grandparents, friends, even the doctors, and once again places the protagonist in the eternal struggle against society's barriers. How will the parents communicate with their daughter? The director manages to convey the feeling of vulnerability through the screen in the most tense situations—such as the birth scene—and with some surprising sound effects. Miriam Garlo, the director's sister, is the first deaf actress to star in a Spanish film and Deaf It's the first film in the state to be fully accessible to the deaf. We conducted the interview with the help of a sign language interpreter to sign my questions; although Garlo reads lips and speaks perfectly, he always signs his answers.
