A QUIET LOVE

In this intimate award-winning film, three Deaf couples share their remarkable love stories through sign language: a 50-year forbidden love affair between a couple from both sides of a religious divide, a same-sex couple traversing the challenges of parenting Deaf and hearing daughters and a Deaf boxer and his hearing partner faced with an impossible decision. This collection of cinematic love letters explores the complexities of Deaf relationships and presents an uplifting portrait of enduring love. With an immersive soundscape that challenges conventional perceptions of sound, A QUIET LOVE is Ireland’s first feature documentary in Irish Sign Language — a minority, indigenous language — and the first Irish feature to be produced by a mixed Deaf and hearing team. This mosaic of Deaf experience is beautifully crafted by award-winning director Garry Keane, whose most recent feature IN THE SHADOW OF BEIRUT was chosen as Ireland’s entry for the Best International Feature Academy Award in 2024.
