The film is inspired by the true story of Mirco Mencacci, one of the most gifted Italian sound editors working today, who happens to be blind. A small village in Tuscany, 1971. Mirco is a bright, lively 10-year-old, crazy about the movies - especially Westerns and adventure films. His father, an incurable idealist, is a truck driver. One day, while Mirco is playing with an old rifle, the gun accidentally goes off; the boy is shot in the head. He survives, but loses his sight. At that time, Italian law considered blind people hopelessly handicapped, and did not permit them to attend public school. Hence, young Mirco's parents are forced to shut their son up in a "special school for the blind": the David Chiossone Institute in Genoa. In the beginning Mirco does not accept his new condition. But he is feisty and determined. When he finds an old tape recorder and a few used reels and discovers that by cutting and splicing tape he can create little fairy tales made only of sounds, a brand-new world opens up to him. His new adventure is opposed by the religious authorities that run the boarding school, who are convinced that a blind boy is a disabled person who must not be allowed to harbor illusions. But Mirco will not give up. He continues to fight in every way possible, and he slowly involves his classmates, leading them to rediscover their dreams and capacities. Then one night, with the help of the only sighted child - the daughter of the doorkeeper, with whom Mirco shares a tender friendship - he convinces the small group of boys to sneak out of school and go to the cinema down the street. For all of them, the experience is exhilarating. But the consequences are grim. Mirco is expelled. In the meantime, a broader struggle to change society is taking place outside. 1970's political protests are erupting. Students are taking to the streets. During one of his earlier escapades, Mirco had made friends with Ettore, a blind university student with strong political awareness. Hearing that Mirco has been expelled, Ettore pushes the whole city to mobilize. Students and workers protest in front of the Cassone Institute, threatening to shut down the city's blast furnace if Mirco is not re-admitted. As a consequence, the head of the institute is put under investigation. Mirco is finally re-admitted and granted special permission: to change the year-end show. Instead of reciting the usual religious poems, the children put on a performance of their "fairy tale in sound", before an audience of blind-folded, spellbound parents. 灵魂和心灵永远保持清明的关照。纯粹生活。关于色彩。放一只耳朵在上帝的身边。敏感力。想要听到天堂的声音,其实并不难。听见世界的声音。如果還相信自己的夢想, 或正受困于生活, 都來看看這部很真實真摯的電影吧。。听见天堂。意大利人可太甜了吧!。 当上帝为你关上一扇门时,往往他会为你打开另一扇。意大利男孩米克(Luca Capriotti 饰)虽然出身在穷乡僻壤,但他从小就梦想成一流的电影大师,只因他是那么的热爱电影。然而上帝跟他开了一个最残酷的玩笑,米克玩弄一支来复枪时不幸走火,从此他只能淹没在巨大的黑暗当中。 这一度令米克感到沮丧万分,仿佛活着已没有了动力。然而盲校的唐老师的一番话让米克豁然开朗,为什么音乐家在演奏时会闭上眼睛,因为那样音符会蜕变,变的更有力量。于是,米克选择了用耳朵代替眼睛,去记录他生活的点点滴滴。这时,我们才发现:原来,不仅可以看见天堂,还可以听见天堂。
