The unique union of a deaf man and a hearing woman presents more
than the expected challenge of communication; it offers an uncommon
perspective on everyday events. Add durable love and humor, and the
result is an extraordinary coupling whose mutual determination
defies the odds of unconventional marriage. Dan Brighton, deaf
since he was a toddler, is a verbally proficient and charming
individual who attains the love of Cara DiSordo. After their
marriage, Cara teaches herself the rudiments of sign language to
facilitate communication. But she soon recognizes the tough
realities of marriage to a deaf partner. Dan's internal struggle
and quiet shame of his disability manifests itself in angry and
peculiar ways. Cara attributes Dan's dark side to a troubled
upbringing involving a father's disappointment, a sister's
animosity, and a mother's irresolute love. Under constant strain,
but never out of love with her husband, Cara accepts a job
promotion that takes her away from Dan for almost four months.
During this time, she explores her ability to continue in a
difficult marriage. Will Dan and Cara's marriage survive the
separation?
