Synopsis

Starring a finalist from the French version of talent show The Voice, La Famille Bélier is a sweet comedy-drama about Paula, a hearing girl born into a deaf family who discovers she has a gift for singing. Encouraged by her music teacher to pursue her talent by applying for an exclusive music school in Paris, her decision is complicated by her family’s reliance on her to help them communicate with the hearing world. Unable to experience their daughter’s gift, her parents try to be supportive despite their fear of losing their translator.
