艾琳泰勒布羅德斯基的首部長片《Hear and Now》探討遺傳性失聰如何影響她家中的兩代人,在2007年辛丹斯電影節獲得觀眾大獎。本片延續這部自傳式紀錄片,布羅德斯基的兒子喬納斯遺傳了家族性的失聰基因,四歲時接近完全失聰,兒時接受人工耳蝸手術。現在11歲的他,已經熟習了有聲音的世界,並學習彈奏貝多芬的《月光奏鳴曲》。布羅德斯基的父母也植入人工耳蝸,但跟喬納斯不同,他們大部分的人生都已在寂靜無聲的世界中渡過。當喬納斯在探索寂靜對他的意義時,他的外祖父卻在摸索獲得聽覺後的轉變。Moonlight Sonata is a deeply personal memoir about a deaf boy growing up, his deaf grandfather growing old, and Beethoven the year he was blindsided by deafness and wrote his iconic sonata. Their lives weave a story about what we discover when we push beyond loss.
