故事发生在遥远的未来世界中,在彼时的社会里,一群被称为“Equals”的种族成为了其中的主要生产力。相较于普通人类,Equals更加的完美,他们有美丽的外貌,高尚的道德感,稳定的情绪,聪慧的头脑,但与此同时,过于的完美让Equals失去了人类的感情。被称为SOS的疾病是这个社会里存在的最大不稳定因素,患上了SOS的人会变得敏感悲伤,抑郁冲动,居民们一旦被发现患上SOS症,就会被政府流放,永远无法再回归社会。
西拉斯(尼古拉斯·霍尔特 Nicholas Hoult 饰)就是一名SOS症患者,某日,他邂逅了名为尼雅(克里斯汀·斯图尔特 Kristen Stewart 饰)的女孩,尼雅虽然看似冷漠无情,但实际上,她也患有SOS症,一切只不过是她的伪装而已。
During eight tumultuous days in 1988 at the world’s only Deaf university, four students must find a way to lead an angry mob — and change the course of history.
With two Deaf candidates up for the role of president, Gallaudet University students saw the possibility of finally being led by someone like them. But when the board of trustees — composed overwhelmingly of hearing individuals — selected the lone hearing candidate, the groundswell of student activism that followed forced a reckoning of more than a century of paternalism. Told primarily through American Sign Language, Deaf President Now! creates an immediacy through immersive archival footage and experiential use of silence and sound. Gallaudet alumnus, model, actor, and Deaf activist Nyle DiMarco (America’s Next Top Model) makes his directorial debut alongside veteran filmmaker Davis Guggenheim (Still: A Michael J. Fox Movie, 2023 Sundance Film Festival) with this rousing documentary that demonstrates the power of collective action to demand meaningful change, foster self-determination, and realize dreams long deferred.
