Synopsis

Traslasierra is an autobiographical documentary exploring the relationship between deaf people and music. At first glance, music and the world of the deaf may seem like two incompatible realms.

However, Traslasierra sheds an unexpected light on this topic. Music is universal. Human emotions are universal. As the documentary reveals, when the desire to communicate exists, boundaries disappear. Music and emotions together create miracles.

These profound, universal themes unfold in a deeply personal, intimate documentary set in a remote village in southern Spain.

More than just a reflection, Traslasierra is also a live report of an experiment to bring deaf people into direct contact with music—an experiment with surprising results.
