The Blind Musician

Synopsis of the Gosteleradiofond: “In the family of wealthy landlords, a blind boy, Petrus, was born. His mother and Uncle Maxim tried to help Petrus learn to make sense of sounds and sensations. From early childhood, music became the most important thing in his life. Uncle Maxim, a strict yet kind friend of Petrus, raised the boy in such a way that his nephew thought as little as possible about his disability and learned instead to feel other people’s pain and grief. In the end, Petrus became a talented musician, a happy husband, and a loving father.”
