One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest (1975) acts as a cautionary tale toward complacency. The psychological drama centres around Randle McMurphy’s (Jack Nicholson) occupancy in an Oregon psychiatric ward; his navigation of its unshakeable rules and systems leads to a plethora of incidents, sometimes intense or comedic, sometimes hopeful or hopeless.

Sorda (2025) is a Spanish drama directed by Eva Libertad about a woman named Ángela (Miriam Garlo) who is deaf and leads her life in Spain’s countryside with her partner, Héctor (Álvaro Cervantes). She experiences the new onset of pregnancy and the following stages of early motherhood, whilst facing the frustrations and difficulties which arise within a hearing-normative world.
