| Summary |
An acclaimed documentary following the journey of a most extraordinary couple. Young-Chan is an accomplished poet who can no longer hear or see. He communicates with his wife Soon-Ho through finger braille, a unique form of communication where words are tapped on each other's hands. Combining breathtaking imagery with Young-Chan's personal writings, PLANET OF SNAIL becomes a transfixing portrait of life on what seems like another planet, where touch communicates everything and love conquers all. Nominated for Best Documentary Feature at the **Tribeca Film Festival.** Official Selection at the **Hot Docs Festival**. *"Above all, this beautifully photographed documentary is a poetic meditation on refined sensory perception." - Stephen Holden, **The New York Times*** |
