- Synopsis
- In the middle of the Karakoram mountain range in Pakistan, Aniqa gives birth to a deaf girl, Narjis. Before, she was unaware not only of the rejection and stigma attached to these girls, but also of their very
  existence, as they remained hidden due to the shame of their families. They are not even called by name,
  but "deaf".
  Sixteen years later Narjis reads her mother's diaries, where she narrates the personal and social
  obstacles she has had to overcome to defend the dignity and rights of those who had been condemned
  for centuries to not being able to have a full life.
  Mother and daughter take us on a journey through the Baltistan region, where Aniqa has built a school for
  deaf children. There, they don't only receive education and respect, but they also discover a world of
  possibilities and rights to which they can aspire too.
