Synopsis

Fini Straubinger, a woman who has been deaf and blind since adolescence, embarks on a journey to communicate with others who share her condition. This film offers an inspiring exploration of how the deaf and blind struggle to understand and accept a world from which they are almost wholly isolated.

MUBI's take

Where some see fearsome chasms of difference that cannot be crossed, Werner Herzog bounds with excitement. Casting a compassionate gaze on deaf and blind Germans in this early documentary, the intrepid filmmaker explores a land where radical relations of empathy and touch are paramount.
