Sky

The Netherlands 2015, Doc., 13 Min., OV/d
Director: Loes Janssen

Sky is nine years old and has a significant hearing impairment. He tries hard to participate in his class which is full of good hearing children, but he often feels powerless and misunderstood. He thinks the outsiders don’t understand him, but does he understand them? In this short documentary we observe Sky during and after school time as he tries to maintain grip on his environment. Does it matter whether your perception of reality is real or not?
