Cast

  • Wolfgang Fasser

A portrait of the musician, therapist and sound researcher Wolfgang Fasser, who lost his sight as a teenager.

Wolfgang Fasser works as a music therapist in Tuscany with severely disabled children. In haunting and poetic images, the film tells the unusual story of a person who uses his own life experience as a blind person to help his young patients to open up to the world and to exhaust their individual possibilities. In the Garden of Sounds (Nel Giardino Dei Suoni) is a voyage of discovery into the frontiers of communication, a quiet and touching film about the "audible world" that we sighted people are usually not aware of or hardly aware of.
