The sound of words is a webdocumentary that takes us behind the closed doors of a high school, where we meet young slammers competing in a slam-poetry tournament. As we explore the mythical sites of the high school, we discover their daily lives, but above all how, at 16, they manage to tame their sensitivity and find the right words to speak of their reality.
