Unsound
1h 28m Drama 2020

A drifting guitarist returns home and falls for a deaf trans man. Love, music and identity collide in this tender Sydney drama.

Disillusioned musician Noah leaves his 90s pop-icon mentor and retreats to his mother’s home in Sydney. There he meets Finn, a proud, Auslan-only deaf trans man who runs a struggling community club. As music and sign language become their bridge, a fragile romance forms. But first love, transition, family pressure and unspoken fears test their courage to live and love authentically.

Rialto Recommends: A quietly radical love story told with grace and intimacy. Unsound listens closely to silence, to longing, to the spaces between words and finds something deeply human there.
