In this film, we delve into the lives of two individuals, Monica Punjabi Verma and her husband, Gourav Verma, both of whom are proud CODAs (Children of Deaf Adults).
Monica, being a hearing child of both deaf parents, shares anecdotes from her upbringing, highlighting how her communication with her parents, both of whom use Indian Sign Language, has influenced her life. Gourav complements Monica's narrative by discussing the dynamics of his upbringing in a mixed family, where his father is deaf and his mother is hearing.
Throughout the film, the couple addresses broader themes such as maturity, responsibility and the ethical considerations they encounter as they transition from informal communication to professional interpreting. This film offers a window into their world, offering viewers a chance to understand and appreciate the unique perspectives of CODAs.
