Silent Night

Grace, a deaf woman from Lebanon, just got her first job as a graphic designer at a travel agency in London. However, her new colleagues don't know sign language, which leads to many misunderstandings. After a few weeks, Grace has proven herself at work and is invited by her friends to Christmas party. One evening, she sees her friends on the street, but they pretend not to recognize her and quickly hail a taxi. This encounter makes Grace question whether her colleagues only pretend to be nice during work hours. Grace’s best deaf friend from Eritrea - Paula, persuades her to go to a party after all. At the party, she discovers why her colleagues acted as they did outside of work and receives a gift beyond her wildest dreams.
