There are about 3000 profoundly deaf children in Australia. Many of these are teenagers who must one day make their way into the hearing world. Bethany and Scott are two ordinary teenagers, who live in the extraordinary world of the deaf. To Bethany and Scott, their deaf world is a rich culture of human possibility, with its own language - Auslan - and with its own rules, challenges and inspirations. It is a culture that few people know or fully understand. The program follows Bethany and Scott through the last few months of their schooling at the Victorian College for the Deaf (VCD), Australia's first school for deaf kids, and now the only place that teaches in sign language from Prep to Year 12. With dreams of creative, sporting and academic success, both teenagers are eager to move beyond their sheltered lives and enter the wider world.
