CODA
dir. Sian Heder · 2021
Being alive means navigating the tension between personal aspirations and familial responsibilities.
"CODA" masterfully intertwines the vibrant world of music with the poignant realities of familial loyalty, creating a heartfelt narrative that celebrates both individuality and community. Ruby's journey from silence to song is a powerful testament to the resilience of love and the pursuit of dreams.
As a CODA (Child of Deaf Adults), Ruby is the only hearing person in her deaf family. When the family's fishing business is threatened, Ruby finds herself torn between pursuing her love of music and her fear of abandoning her parents.
