Description
A young boy watches as his father goes to work in a noisy newspaper printing factory in 1940s New York. His father is deaf and communicates through hand gestures, but feels largely ignored by his hearing co-workers. The father's unique situation is brought to life in this dramatic story that reflects a respect for deaf culture and the gifts each individual possesses. A silent deadly fire erupts, and it is up to the father to warn and save his coworkers, even when they cannot hear him over the printers. Historical details are rendered with evocative paintings by Henri Sørensen, bringing this powerful story to life.
