Augenlied
Eye Song
Does someone who doesn′t see, see nothing? Blindness is fascinating for the sighted. And alarming. And inconceivable. How do the blind see the world? We took a trip through Europe. And met very different people. All are blind. A film exclusively with the blind. But it deals with seeing. With the visible and the invisible. With hearing, with smelling. With beauty and with fear. With dreams.
With perception of the world with all the senses. Not a film about the
handicapped. A film about us. About our retina, our perception. "The
seeing, it seems to me, don′t really see very much," somebody says at
some point. And laughs. And tells us a tale, wild and chaotic like a
movie for the wide screen. All the blind see. In their dreams.
Eye
Song is a film about loss. And a film about wealth. A wealth that -
however concealed - is in all of us. Suddenly, in the middle of
Frankfurt, the blind mother says: "I smell the sea breeze." And the
professor from England knows the answer to the question: Why does one
kiss with closed eyes?
