You Shall Hear

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?
