There are a lot of Deaf families out there with hearing children. This is a subject that many of CODA will know about in terms of having to help their family in terms of communication via sign language. After watching the film, a quick dig around about the film is a remake of La Famille Bélier, then it is revealed it is based (this is becoming film-ception!) on Beyond Silence. The hunt is on to find a copy of Beyond Silence to see if it holds or match up to today's cinema world.
