"CODA" stands for "Children of Deaf Adults," meaning "children raised by deaf parents." In musical terms, it also refers to the conclusion of a piece of music or a movement (it can also mean the beginning of a new chapter). This film is a Hollywood remake of the French film "Aile!", which was released in Japan in 2015. It's a touching and refreshing portrayal of a family embracing and supporting each other, sharing passionate and beautiful moments together.

◾️The protagonist, Ruby, is played by the much-talked-about Emilia Jones.

The protagonist, Ruby, is played by Emilia Jones, who has been hailed as the "next Emma Watson" for her role in the hit TV series "Locke & Key." She captivates audiences with her natural portrayal of Ruby, using the singing and sign language she has received intensive training in. She co-stars with Ferdia Walsh-Peelo, who touched the hearts of audiences with empathy in "Sing Street."

◾️Pay Attention to the Soundtrack

Pay attention to the songs, an essential element of the film. The songs played throughout the film are all masterpieces, including the soul classic "You're All I Need To Get By," released by Tammi Terrell and Marvin Gaye in 1968, and they'll remind you of the beauty of the lyrics and melodies. Enjoy the soundtrack along with the film.





◾️Synopsis of "Coda: Love Song"

Living in a seaside town with her deaf parents and older brother, Ruby served as the family's "interpreter" from a young age and helped out daily with the family fishing business. In high school, Ruby joined the choir club. Her choir advisor, recognizing her singing talent, strongly encouraged her to apply to a prestigious music college in the city. However, she was forced to choose continuing to support her family over her dreams.
