The Silence (1998)

In the rustic heart of Tajikistan, a young blind boy possesses a remarkable gift; the ability to identify objects merely through their sounds. This unique talent lands him a job as a tuner of string instruments in his tranquil village. His blindness does not shroud his world in darkness, but instead, illuminates it with vibrant hues of sound and touch. His journey to work is a symphony of experiences, as he discerns the quality of bread peddled by local girls with just a touch, painting a vivid picture of his world through tactile sensations. However, his sensitive ears are easily seduced by the melodic charms of street musicians, causing him to lose track of time and often arrive late to his work. This is a story of a boy navigating his world not with sight, but with sound and touch, transforming the ordinary into the extraordinary.

The Silence is a drama movie featuring Tahmineh Normatova.
