Out of Water
Polish
Zosia is a 13-year-old CODA – a hearing child of deaf adults. Together with her dad, she sets off to fight for her dream swimming competition, in which she is not allowed to participate due to her father’s oversight. Along the way, they encounter complications that put Zosia in the role of an interpreter and intermediary between her deaf father and the rest of the world. Having a voice starts to be not only a privilege for the girl, but also a burden.
