Touching Darkness
The animated documentary Touching Darkness lets us experience several minutes of the world of ten-year-old Vítek, a world “seen” primarily through sound and touch. Vítek guides us not only through everyday situations but also through his dreams and shows us that life without sight can be colorful too. But even the most courageous of us sometimes experience moments of sadness.
