Fill Our Mouths  A Brief Summary

Gay or straight?  Hearing or deaf?  Set in Paris , a heterosexual woman's sexually adventuresome affair with a hard of hearing lesbian weaves a sensual fabric of communication and self-realization.  As the relationship grows between them, both characters see themselves and the world around them in a different light.  Using spoken English and American Sign Language, FILL OUR MOUTHS is a story of love and choice, deafness and hearing, the trials of communication, and the search for self when caught between two worlds.
