Pilar lost most of her hearing when she was a week old. In her 20's the loss went from severe to profound. At age 28 she participated in a Federal Drug Administration study on the Cochlear Implant. That was the beginning of a transformational journey.
The film follows Pilar over a seven year period: the months of anticipation leading up to the operation, the moment the device is activated and Pilar hears sounds she's never heard before, the long process of learning to recognize sounds, and, joyously, hearing her son's first cry. And, along the way Pilar completes her Masters degree in Painting... Pilar inspires us all to face our challenges as she does, with humor, passion, and grace.
