Synopsis by Jason Buchanan
Filmmaker Yi Seung-Jun invites viewers into the lives of a remarkable couple whose extraordinary relationship hinges on all of their senses. Robbed of his vision and hearing, Young-Chan experiences the world in a different way than most, and uses his poetry to express his unique outlook on life. Meanwhile, his wife Soon-Ho contends with a major spinal disability. Young-Chan and Soon-Ho communicate through finger Braille, an innovative form of communicative touch. As the devoted couple's relationship deepens, we experience the world through their unique perspective, and discover just how rich their world truly is.
