Ian’s unconventional techniques intrigue the children and embolden them to explore their surroundings. But more than only teaching them how to move without a cane, Ian encourages his students to develop their vision of the world.
Among his students, a young woman called Eva (Alexandra Maria Lara), is withdrawn and secluded. Ian concentrates his efforts to make her overcome her shyness. He brings her outside the clinic without permission to help her rediscover the pleasures of life. Because of Ian’s insubordination, the Headmaster is forced to make him leave the clinic, to avoid putting the patients at any further risk.
The clinic administration tells the students that Ian ingeniously tricked them by using a sensor in his pocket. Eva and Serrano, one of Ian’s best students, have their doubts. Using Ian’s teachings, they decide one evening to leave the clinic to be confronted with the outside world and try to discover the truth about Ian.

Imagine waking up in the morning to find that the world sounds utterly different - and music is suddenly unrecognisable. All the songs you loved and all the songs you've yet to discover are suddenly out of reach. Could you find a way to get music back again... and could music find you?
1 in 7 of us will experience deafness in our lifetime. So what would happen to the music you love, if your hearing was lost?
Made by a partially deaf filmmaker after the future of her own hearing was called into doubt, this moving and intimate documentary follows music critic Nick Coleman, dancer Emily Thornton and pianist Holly Loach over 2 years, as they journey deep into sound and silence. It combines intimate filming with original animation, a rich musical soundtrack (often manipulated to reveal what deafness actually sounds like), and new insights from the world's top neuroscientists (including New York Times bestseller Dr David Eagleman), to tell the story of the great human love affair with music.
"A unique insight into the human condition ... likely to stay with you long after the credits have rolled." ~ DocGeeks
