Planet of Snail

documentary   Japan

Sensitive doc on the small community of deaf-blind people. We learn how they live, communicate, love, cope with minor and major problems, etc.

We follow a couple, clearly in love: he is deaf-blind, she has a spinal disease which makes her very short, hunch-backed...but she can see so acts as their eyes and as a translator for her husband. Everything they do is a struggle but they radiate a sense of calm fortitude and get through whatever.

Interesting, in a there but for the grace of god sense...
