Will Jack tell his Mum that he is…?
And what will his dad say?

Quirky comedy about deaf identity – a deaf teenager reveals a personal secret to his hearing mother. Why does he have ‘dirty’ magazines and videos hidden in his room? What will his father say when he finds out? The unexpected revelations question whether family life will ever be the same again.

A son goes to his mother with a compelling secret. Will she understand?

The film has so far played at film festivals over the world and went on to win the prestigious Clin d’Oleil European Video award in Rheims, France last summer. It was made in association with AC2.com and the British Deaf Association.
