Synopsis: Alphonse, who is Deaf, is married to Miranda, an aspiring
actress who is losing her hearing.  Although Miranda speaks, the couple
communicates through American Sign Language. Employed as an accountant,
he was raised in a completely Deaf environment. Strong-willed, and
stubborn, he nonetheless is sensitive to his isolation from the hearing
world. He loves his wife deeply. However, when Miranda becomes pregnant,
the prospect of a hearing child reveals his prejudices and threatens to
tear the marriage apart.
