You Shall Hear

2024 • Directed by

Petra Katharina Wagner

Mila Ebert, who is just under two years old, is deaf. An examination at the hospital reveals that her auditory nerve is developed – with the insertion of a cochlear implant and appropriate support, she would have the chance to develop almost normal hearing and speech. And with that, a chance at a “normal” life. Who decides which way of life is more worth living? Is the state allowed to play a role in this – or does it even have to?
