"...Draws your deepest emotions with the simplest of stories...in the tradition of similarly affecting films about childhood suffering, including Truffaut's The 400 Blows and Bresson's Mouchette."
- Desson Howe, Washington Post

A blind boy, whose father sees him as a burden, struggles to adjust when he is forced to leave a school for the blind and becomes an apprentice to a carpenter. The boy also relates strongly and spiritually to the sounds of nature around him, and his deep connection to a world beyond the one created by man is the center of this beautiful, heartfelt motion picture.
