Document film about Hieronymus Lorm, forgotten exceptional individual, about life and perception of world of blind and death man, about music in silence and pictures in dark. Children often ask, if it were worse to lose sight or hearing. (Most common answer is that hearing is worse) Not many people realize, when hearing the question, that there are people that either lost or were born without both scences, and even though have learned to communicate with world (there is 212 registered both blind and death in Czech Republic). Gateway to reality is touch alphabet, which was invented in 19th century by Mikulov native a extraordianry man, whos life is closely related to Brno. He called himself Hieronymus Lorm and was branded as “miracle child –the new Mozart”, but the carier of piano virtuoso was ruined by loss of hearing at age 15 and later loss of sight. Well know in his age, journalist, poet, philosopher, who had a great power and influence over the socal life despite his handicap. What music and what images came to his mind?
