My film is about Noah, a 17-year-old high school student who confronts his deaf insecurities after wanting to ask a girl to the winter dance. He decides that he will try his hearing aids and speech therapy again. After struggling, he gives up and decides not to go to the winter dance. However, his mom won’t let that happen and encourages him to go. He builds courage in the car and manages to gain the confidence to talk to the girl. Upon approaching her he discovers that she has learned sign language so that she could talk to him.
