About the Film
“The Way We Talk” is produced by One World Film Production Co., Ltd., with the Lee Hysan Foundation as the Present & Philanthropic Partner, and co-produced by Liu Yuen-Hung, Ho Hong, and Adam Wong, directed by Adam Wong, Acted by Yau Hawk-sau, Chung Suet-ying, and Marco Ng.
Wolf, born into a Deaf family, embraces sign language with confidence despite obstacles in life; Sophie, having a cochlear implant at a young age, continuously strives to be seen as “normal”, despite struggling with oral language. Alan, with a cochlear implant like Sophie, is capable of both oral and sign language; he advocates for diverse modes of communication within the deaf community. Bound by love and friendship, the three embark on a self-discovering journey with their own moments of pain.
