About film

This touching, poetic exploration of the relationship between mind, body and sound, is a cinematic journey to the borders of communication. Nicola Bellucci’s documentary tells the extraordinary story of Wolfgang Fasser, a blind musician and soundscape artist, who works with severely handicapped children. On his own way into the darkness, Fasser discovered the world of sounds, a parallel universe to our visual world. His far-reaching explorations of the effect of sound on mind and body led him to the field of music therapy. Today, the Swiss native lives in a beautiful valley near Florence. Most of his young patients have multiple disabilities; some are blind and can’t speak, others seem to be completely oblivious to the world around them.
