The film, written and directed by Sian Heder and adapted from the 2014 French-language film “La Famille Bélier,” premiered at the 2021 Sundance Film Festival.

The film was directly based on "La Famille Bélier," a 2014 French comedy that not only featured zero deaf actors in the deaf roles, but used deafness as the punch lines for many of its jokes.

“CODA” borrows the story of a teenage girl who interprets for her deaf family from “La Famille Bélier,” a 2014 French film.
