Synopsis
Bo Ri is the only family member who can hear. She talks with her friends while finding it hard to sign with her family. Wishing to be deaf, she jumps into the sea and loses consciousness. Waking up in the hospital, she pretends she’s deaf.
Director Kim Jin-yu, who was also raised by a deaf mother, says the film includes some of his own experiences and feelings from childhood.
According to the director, the original Korean title, read as “Na-neun-bo-ri” can be interpreted three ways: “I am Bori,” as in Bori accepting herself as who she is; “Flying Bori,” implying Bori’s growth in the film; and “I Will See,” referring to how deaf people communicate visually when they cannot hear or speak.
