Synopsis
Khorshid, a young blind boy from Tajikistan, earns rent money for his family by tuning rare instruments but becomes enraptured by the sonorous music he hears on his way to work each day.
Editorial
Sightless, a curious child with an elevated sense of hearing and touch delights in the pleasures that he encounters by ear and by hand in the markets and workshops of Tajikistan. Mohsen Makhmalbaf’s capacious camera shares in these plentiful gifts, basking in their boundless color and music.
