Música ocular

Do deaf people dream with music? A group of deaf young people from the coast of Oaxaca choose their own stories for the first film made entirely in Mexican Sign Language. In the process, we encounter a culture that is 100% visual and witness the construction of a cinematographic collective dream. Eye Music interweaves silent films, music for the deaf and longing thoughts.
