A Heartwarming Story of Impossible Love
Silence is deafening.
My grandmother was deaf. She lost much of her hearing when she was a teenager during the war in Europe, and even though she wore hearing aids, she still had to read lips to understand what people were saying. When I was little, she used to tell me, “There is a lot of noise in silence.”
I didn’t understand her then, and while I’m more aware of life and what that means now, I may never fully understand the depth of her words.
Adapted from the manga series Hidamari ga Kikoeru by Yuki Fumino, the Japanese BL I Hear the Sunspot delves into silence and how starkly loud it can be.
Starring actors Nakazawa Motoki (Sugihara Kohei) and Kobayashi Toranosuke (Sagawa Taichi), I Hear the Sunspot follows deaf student, Sugihara Kohei, as he attempts to navigate university, all while feeling lost inside his own life and the barrier he’s erected between himself and the world. He finds a sudden beacon of light and understanding in fellow student Sagawa Taichi, a loud and outspoken young man whose cheerful and somewhat naive personality is hard to ignore. And also easy to fall in love with.
