Steffi tiene dieciséis años y desde los cinco le resulta casi imposible hablar en público. ¿Neurosis, trastorno de ansiedad y comunicación? Y es que no quiera sino que, a veces, no puede. Miles de palabras se agolpan en su mente, pero sus labios se niegan a compartirlas. Tem, su única amiga de la infancia, ha cambiado de escuela, dejándola sola. Sin embargo, Steffi ha estado haciendo terapia cognitiva y ha comenzado con su medicación: está decidida a superar sus limitaciones, y más ahora que debe ponerse a prueba para entrar a la Universidad.Rhys es nuevo en la escuela. Es sordo, y Steffi sabe algo del lenguaje de señas. Algo, por no decir bastante poco: a medida que su amistad crece, a la lectura de los labios se le suman signos, gestos, textos. Un idioma íntimo y amoroso que los envuelve y que solamente ellos conocen.Sobre este entramado se teje una maravillosa historia de amor, de superación y de aprendizaje, que nos enseña que en el silencio suelen alzarse las voces más potentes, aquellas que retumban sin hacer ruido, como un trueno sigiloso y secreto.
