1. What Willow Says
A deaf granddaughter and her grandmother wander forests and wetlands, developing an intimate language of signs, touch, and attention as they learn to “listen” to trees and the more-than-human world. Through shifting seasons and personal loss, their bond deepens, translating wind, water, and bark into story, and revealing how memory, ecology, and care can reimagine what communication means beyond spoken words.
