Bori (KR 2020) (2020)

Description:

Bori (KR 2020) is a truly heartwarming movie about an 11-year-old girl, Bo Ri, who is the only hearing member of her deaf family in a beautiful seaside village. As an elementary school student, Bo Ri finds it easy to talk with her friends but struggles with communicating in sign language at home. This difference makes her feel increasingly alienated, leading her to wish she could be deaf like her beloved family.

Inspired by an old deaf diver she sees on TV, Bo Ri impulsively jumps into the sea, loses consciousness, and subsequently pretends she cannot hear upon waking in the hospital. This unique and touching film shines a positive light on life, celebrating childhood innocence and powerful family love. "Bori" stands out by portraying deaf characters without relying on disability as a tragic element, instead emphasizing the pure intentions and active affection within a loving family. It’s a movie that encourages audiences to view life through an optimistic lens.
