Antoine, a handsome history teacher in his early fifties, is an ignoramus of the highest order. He regularly drives his new neighbor Claire (wonderfully played by Sandrine Kiberlain) and her mute daughter to the brink of madness with deafening noise. Claire’s outbursts of anger bounce off Antoine mercilessly—just like everything else in this world. It’s not until he ignores the fire alarm at school that Antoine is forced to face the unpleasant truth: he’s practically deaf. And at the prime of his life! With the help of hearing aids, a whole new world soon opens up to him, but even there, not all that glitters is gold... In his third film as director, Pascal Elbé—who also wrote the screenplay and plays the lead role—charmingly tells the story of a man who must come to terms with his hearing loss. Because Elbé drew on his own experiences, the film feels honest and relatable. A turbulent, heartwarming comedy about communication and how to discover new opportunities as you grow older.
