Kayla is a wonderful woman who has been dealt a terrible hand. At the age of five she lost most of her hearing due to fluid in her ears. She speaks poetically about the life that she had, what she could remember of her childhood and a special connection to music, the most important sound she can’t hear anymore. When she finally looses her hearing she begins a journey of strength. Overcoming things that she never she had the strength for. With the support of her sister Judith she is able to learn sign language and reconnect with the ability to communicate. At a New Years party her eardrums are ruptured and the little bit of sound she did have was completely taken away. When she woke after her surgery she had been given the greatest gift, the gift of sound. Kayla only has sound for two weeks before history repeats itself and again her ears go numb to life. But it is through the journey of having sound, loosing it, gaining it and loosing it again that she realizes that she is enough, for anything. (*Actress must know sign language)
