The Way We Talk

Hong Kong coming-of-age drama co-written and directed by Adam Wong which follows three deaf twentysomethings striving to find their way in the world. Alan (Marco Ng) is a designer and cochlear implant user whose childhood friend Wolf (Neo Yau) communicates solely using sign language and dreams of becoming a diving coach. Sophie (Suet-Ying Chung) has recently graduated from university. Her mother arranged for her to have cochlear implant surgery when she was a child because she wanted her daughter to fit in and also forbade her from learning sign language. As they consider their futures, Wolf begins teaching Sophie sign language and it changes her perspective on life completely.
