This revealing and intimate documentary follows the journey of Lenny, a deaf party animal, as she searches for the perfect beat. Despite her disability, Lenny loves going clubbing, but has always felt out of place at hearing discos. Now she is travelling to Holland to attend her first ‘deaf rave’, a ground-breaking, multi-sensory music event specially designed for the hard of hearing, in the hope that she can find a place to enjoy the music she has been denied, and the people to share her passion with.
