TWO WORLDS
POLISH TITLE: DWA ŚWIATY
Three people, two ways of perceiving reality and one family. The film is a portrait of deaf parents and their 12-year old daughter. Laura takes on the role of her father and mother’s mouths and ears helping them in everyday activities, such as, for example, buying coal. In the film she is also the medium that, with empathy, introduces the spectator to the daily life of people with disabilities. Not only is she the narrator, but also the transmitter of emotions that could not have found an outlet to the world of the hearing without her assistance.
