New Delhi: At the 94th Academy Awards, the film 'CODA' directed by Sian Heder won the award for Best Picture for its unique storyline and exemplary acting performances. The coming-of-age drama is an English remake of the 2014 French film La Famille Bélier.

It stars Emilia Jones as the protagonist with Eugenio Derbez, Troy Kotsur, Ferdia Walsh-Peelo, Daniel Durant, and Marlee Matlin as the supporting cast. 

The plot of the film revolves around a girl who is the child of deaf adults and the only member in the family who can hear. As she grows up, she finds herself at a crossroads between choosing her family's fishing business and her own aspirations to be a singer.

Ruby who was played by Emilia, attempts to fulfill her dreams by pursuing music at the Berklee College of Music but at the same time reels with the fear of abandoning her parents.

However, she stood her ground and threatened to walk out of the film if her demands for casting weren't met. Eventually, the financiers agreed to her demands.

According to reports, Emilia Jones who played a teenage girl in the film had taken voice lessons and learned American Sign Language (ASL) for 9 months before the shooting for the film began.
