Directed by Darius Marder
Written by Darius Marder, Abraham Marder
Starring Riz Ahmed, Olivia Cooke, Paul Raci, Lauren Ridloff, Shaheem Sanchez, Chelsea Lee, Jeremy Stone and Mathieu Amalric
During a series of adrenaline-fueled one-night gigs, itinerant
punk-metal drummer Ruben (Riz Ahmed) begins to experience intermittent
hearing loss. When a specialist tells him his condition will rapidly
worsen, he thinks his music career — and with it his life — is over. His
bandmate and girlfriend Lou (Olivia Cooke) checks the recovering heroin
addict into a secluded sober house for the deaf in hopes it will
prevent a relapse and help him learn to adapt to his new situation. But
after being welcomed into a community that accepts him just as he is,
Ruben has to choose between his equilibrium and the drive to reclaim the
life he once knew. Utilizing startling, innovative sound design
techniques, director Darius Marder takes audiences inside Ruben’s
experience to vividly recreate his journey into a rarely examined world.
