The Silence

A 10-year-old boy embarks on a daily routine of working at an instrument maker's shop, only to encounter unexpected events every day.

A blind young boy in Tajikistan uses his extraordinary ability to identify objects by sound to excel as a string instrument tuner in a small village. Despite his physical limitations, he perceives the world in a unique way, recognizing the quality of bread by touch and finding beauty in everyday surroundings. However, his talent for music often gets the better of him, causing him to arrive late to work due to his fascination with street performers.
