Andrea "Drea" Stoney, a Deaf poet, attends her grandmother's repass and navigates a family that doesn't understand ASL. Complicating matters, her father is temporarily released from prison for the day, forcing Drea to reconcile with him amid grief. THEM THAT'S NOT explores identity, communication, and familial tension, highlighting the challenges Deaf individuals face within hearing-centered spaces. Through introspection, subtle humor, and emotional honesty, the film portrays the resilience required to carve personal space and connection, offering audiences insight into Deaf culture, intergenerational dynamics, and the quiet power of language, love, and understanding.
