Tribute to Nicolas Philibert - Le Pays Des Sourds
France, 1992, 99 min, French, English and Hebrew subtitles
 
Nicolas Philibret leads the viewer the an exclusive worlds whose protagonists are among others a deaf teacher, a family that hasn''t had a hearing person for five generations, a woman, who just because she is incomprehensible to those around her, is hospitalized in an institution for the insane.
Thus, we are exposed to the enormous importance of sight and touch, to other forms of communication, to visual language with its own rules, to exclusion, and to the joy of life that can exist within the silence.
