Billy has returned home after a year away at university to find his
family just as dysfunctional as ever. Language and communication are
what they focus on the most, and understand the least it seems. Billy
was born deaf and taught to speak and lip-read. What his family doesn't
understand is this doesn't allow him full access to the way they
communicate. They forget to face him when speaking, and summarize events
instead of explaining them fully, leaving Billy isolated in his own
home. His life changes when he meets Sylvia, she teaches him ASL, and
introduces him to the Deaf Community where he finds a "tribe" in which
he feels accepted. 

To audition please contact Amanda Bergen at amanda.bergen at ualberta.ca -
