Deaf Child (Doof Kind)
by Alex de Ronde (2017)

Deaf Child is a coming of age film by Alex de Ronde in which he portrays the life of his son, a charismatic young man who happens to be deaf. The film follows Tobias from the cradle to the present day through archive material and other personal footage. Tobias lives in two worlds: one in need, the other as a fish in the water. Archive footage shows how the little Tobias learned how to talk a little through endless speech therapy sessions, but also him having the time of his life in a Swiss cable car or in Disneyland Paris - all getting by without speech. 
Deaf Child is about a family who in the face of adversity retain a deep respect for each other and care for each other’s well-being. The three men display a bond that is touching.
