With her extraordinary film debut "Beyond Silence," Caroline Link ventured into new territory in the German cinema landscape with both theme and cinematic language. In powerful images and subtle tones, her novel now tells the story of Lara, who had to interpret between her deaf parents and the outside world since early childhood. It is the story of a difficult separation from the world of her parents and childhood, in which the author also allows space for the tragic and comedic aspects of life as well as the emotional moments of a heartbeat.
