Twelve-year-old Mazin has been deaf since birth. Now he’s about to have the operation that promises to allow him to hear like everyone else. Mazin switches between excitement and joy thinking about his new life ahead, with the ability to hear. What will it be like to be aware of all the new sounds? How will he learn to speak? What will he talk about with his family? As well as positive thoughts, negative ones strike Mazin too. One of his classmates had a similar operation, and it turned out to be a disaster. And even if the op is a success, the world as he knows it will never be the same again.
