In the film, Pascal Elbé plays a man who loses his hearing. The actor and director had confided to Parisian, at the time of the film’s cinema release, that he was inspired by his own story when writing the screenplay. He confided that he himself suffered from hearing problems.
“My loved ones could no longer bear having to repeat everything,” explains the actor. “And one day, I found myself in difficulty facing an actor who spoke very softly: that was the last straw.” Pascal Elbé also details to the national media that he “missed certain things because of [sa] hearing loss.” Now he has a device to help him.
The fear that it will harm your career
From this experience, the actor drew comic situations for this film, which deals more with solitude and the listening we provide to others.
