A group of deaf people explore the Mexican sign language through a scenic lab of poetic creation. The film shows this unique creative process, while attempting to make explicit the distance from which we listeners (the audience) connect to the sensations proper to deafness: almost always failing to recognize them as a different way of naming and inhabiting the world.
