Hearing-impaired teenager Chang Cheng transfers to a school for children with special needs. However, the world of the hearing-impaired doesn’t seem quiet at all. When Chang witnesses the game taking place in the last row on the school bus, his excitement about blending into a new environment immediately turns into fear.

VIBE

A deeply unsettling and vulnerable experience. The film's quiet intensity builds dread, immersing you in a world where silence is anything but peaceful. It's a stark look at the harsh realities of navigating a new, unforgiving environment.
