It has a voice worth listening to. And if one
could hear what it has to say, it doesn’t demand much for it to be
understood. But in judging Mike Sandejas’ full-length feature
Dinig Sana Kita, or any film for that matter, it is not entirely a
question of what needs to be said but rather how it is said. And in
the case of this film, the message has been delivered well albeit a
few awkward moments.
Essentially a love story, Dinig Sana Kita brings
together two distinct worlds—that of a deaf dancer named Kiko and
that of a troubled musician named Nina. While Nina’s problems come
from her desire to be free from her parents, Kiko’s optimism comes
from his longing for the family that abandoned him as a child.
Nearly expelled from school due to bad behavior, Nina is sent by her
mother to a seminar in Baguio that mixes deaf and normal hearing
teenagers. There she meets Kiko who is a teaching assistant for
hearing-impaired students.
