A Quiet Love

Three love stories. One shared language.

A Quiet Love was the winner of the “Being Oneself” category at Doc Edge Awards 2025.

In this intimate film, three Deaf couples share their remarkable love stories through Irish Sign Language: a decades-long forbidden romance across a religious divide, an LGBTQI+ couple navigating parenthood with Deaf and hearing children, and a Deaf boxer and his hearing partner facing a life-altering choice.

A cinematic celebration of resilience, connection, and enduring love; featuring an immersive soundscape, it is Ireland’s first feature film in Irish Sign Language, produced by a Deaf and hearing team and directed by award-winning alumnus Garry Keane (GAZA, In the Shadow of Beirut).
