THE PROFESSOR AND THE BLIND GIRL
2009/7:08/High Definition/stereo
Distributed by: Vtape
A young soldier newly returned from the trenches of World War I finds himself adrift and alone, traumatized by the war and unable to speak. A chance encounter with a strange Professor and his charge, a psychic Blind Girl, restore his power of speech and with it, his hope for the future. A decidedly unmodern tale for these modern times.
