In the picturesque Israeli Negev desert lays the Bedouin village of El-Sayed and the largest percentage of deaf people in the world. Still, no hearing aids can be seen because in El-Sayed deafness is not a handicap. A unique sign language has evolved there making it the most popular language in a society that accepts deafness as natural as life itself. Until one man decides to change his son's fate with a cochlear implant.
