Hard Told is a journey of suffocating intimacy and isolation. Through the eyes of an elderly deaf man, a dance emerges. Bare feet...a muddy field...a distant tree...

...a woman...

Taking pedestrian movement through barren landscapes, Jane Mason's film searches for boundaries of time and space, guided by her protagonists' deviating narrative. With an outstanding score by Jules Maxwell, Hard Told is a rich, emotional journey that carries the audience to a world that teeters on the edge of communication.
