Documenting the relationships of three very different deaf Irish couples, A Quiet Love is an intimate, big-hearted celebration of everyday triumph over adversity.
As its title suggests, the film does not paint its subjects as all-conquering heroes, rather normal people navigating a challenging path through life. In allowing its subjects to tell their own stories entirely in their own words – all communicate through Irish Sign Language (ISL) – the film effectively spotlights a community not often given space on screen.
