FEATURED IN: UPON HER LIPS: HEARTBEATS
Lucy and Johanna are on their honeymoon at a bed and breakfast in a picturesque weir-side setting. Annoyed with the demeanour of their waitress, the pair engage in a heated discussion, one that doesn't seem to bother the patrons in the restaurant much - Johanna is partially, and Lucy profoundly, Deaf - thus the nature of signing allows the women to be carefree about quarrelling in public.
Lifting the lid on Deaf culture and relationships, 'Honeymoon' offers a unique insight into a wholly different way of communicating that is refreshing in its honesty.
