Ruby loves to sing, but she's never pursued it. Every morning before school, Ruby helps her father, Frank (Troy Kotsur), and brother, Leo (Daniel Durant), meet their fishing quota she also serves as the family's translator. In this case, it refers to Ruby Rossi ( Emilia Jones), a Gloucester, Massachusetts, high school senior who's the only hearing person in her family. The term CODA - the title of director Sian Heder's remake of the 2014 French comedy La Famille Bélier - is an acronym for Child of Deaf Adults.

While the movie focuses on a specific kind of family, its themes of compassion, empathy, perseverance, communication, and teamwork are universal to growing up.

A young adult gets in a bar fight and ends up with a bruised eye, and a scene with the Coast Guard is filmed to suggest how disturbing it would be for deaf boaters to have their craft boarded. Adults drink wine and beer, and Ruby's dad smokes marijuana there's also cigarette smoking. There's also kissing, a comically awkward scene of teens walking in on parents having loud sex, sexual jokes, and a running gag about how hot and heavy Ruby's parents are. The movie - which is notable for starring three deaf actors ( Marlee Matlin, Troy Kotsur, and Daniel Durant) as the deaf characters - has lots of strong language, both spoken and signed ("s-t," "damn," etc., and one "f-k"). But when she finds out that her love of singing could lead to bigger things, she must decide whether to follow her dream or stay with her family. Ruby's close-knit family relies on her, both for labor on their commercial fishing boat and to translate for them. It follows high school senior Ruby Rossi ( Emilia Jones), a CODA (Child of Deaf Adults) who's the only hearing person in her family. Parents need to know that CODA is writer-director Sian Heder's crowd-pleasing adaptation of the 2014 French film La Famille Bélier.
