PERSON OF VIEW (radni naslov)

Ina Ferlan (Slovenia, Gorenja Vas)

The senses are usually taken for granted. For the deaf however, this is not the case. Seeking different sensory impulses in order to revive sound in the body and mind, the other senses sharpen, especially the sense of sight and touch. There is a widespread belief that deafness is an impairment. But which perception is clearer? Is it the one that arises from the precise observation of a deaf person or the one of a hearing person, who can easily be distracted? Can the sight of a hearing person even come close to the visual experience of a deaf one? The film will explore these questions through the eyes of a deaf dancer that senses music through its vibrations.
