“I know you from TV,” says Khaled, a deaf Palestinian, to Lee Dan, an Israeli sign language interpreter, when he meets her at the Israeli army checkpoint. Lee laughs. She has a special ring to her laugh which sometimes even deaf people can pick up.

And fall in love with.

Hearing people, too, know her from the small bubble on the TV screen where she appears, translating programs into sign language. Outside the bubble, Lee goes on interpreting for deaf people in all kinds of situations: at school, in court, in therapy and even in the delivery room.

The film goes into the bubble and enters the world of deaf people. It also tells the story of people like Lee, who are  between both worlds, between the majority and the minority, between silence and sound.
