Elsa is a little girl of 9 years of age who hears and speaks, yet, her parents are deaf and do not speak. Her father is a sign language professor and her mother is a painting artist. Elsa expresses herself in French sign language and in spoken French just like her little brother of seven, Réno. At home, the children communicate in sign language even though television, internet and friends bring in the French. At school and with neighbors they use spoken language. She often has to translate for others.
As unexpected as it may seem, deafness does not prevent the practice of music. The testimony of Christian Guyot is a striking demonstration: sourd severe birth, it is now a recognized musician and transmit their knowledge in major music schools. Based on this observation, a unique initiative started in the Musical Instruments Museum in Brussels: initiations to music designed especially for young deaf and hearing impaired. An amazing challenge!

It is a film on the perception of sound and music through deaf people.
A deaf person hears through the eyes, the skin, the vibrations and develops a form of perception that we, hearing people, have but less developped.
The film has been conceived to be heard by both deaf and hearing people with the problematic of visualizing the sound and having the images audible.
