Sumario:The purpose of this paper is to reflect on the singularities of the subjective constitution of deaf children born to hearing parents. In order to reflect on this subject matter, I have described a scene from a short film called “Crisálida” and then analyzed the singularities of the psychological constitution of deaf people, based on the following categories: psychological symptoms; interactions between hearing parents and deaf children, and the modes of language acquisition, based on research conducted by psychoanalysts, as well as researchers who base themselves on psychoanalysis. As a result, I have pointed out the fact that communication difficulties between family members do not prevent the establishment of affective bonds, but they might hinder negotiations over social rules, which creates conflicts in this relationship. Besides, the advent of sign language in the family context appears to serve as a narcissistic rescue to the parents in relation to the child.
