El hijo de Brodsky, Jonas, empezó a perder su capacidad auditiva cuando aún era un bebé, por lo que sus padres decidieron someterle a un implante coclear. Ahora que ha cumplido 11 años, Jonas demuestra una adaptación perfecta al mundo que le rodea, como bien demuestra el hecho de estar aprendiendo a tocar con el piano "Moonlight Sonata" compuesta originalmente por Beethoven, que a su vez también tuvo que luchar con la pérdida casi total de audición. A diferencia de Jonas, sus abuelos también padecen de sordera crónica, salvo que en su tiempo la tecnología no les permitió sortear esta enfermedad. Para ellos, el único mundo que existe es el del silencio absoluto. Mientras que Jonas reflexiona sobre lo que representa para él el silencio, sus abuelos se embarcan ahora en un nuevo e ilusionante proceso con el que esperan poder disfrutar de los sonidos que produce el mundo gracias a un transplante.
