A language doesn't necessarily need to be written and vocal, here it consists of gestures and movements: the members of the performance collective Kitchen Light's slam their hands and arms: six deaf people tell in sign language of marginalization, express their anger and hope at a world that seems to be made for those able to ear. The film montages its images in the flowing rhythm of their movements, rhymes by move not by sound and creates a world to the narrations of its protagonists, in which the dominant order of opportunity and expectation of conformity is cancelled.
