Planet of Snail

Korean documentary about the experiences in life and love of a deaf-blind man.

Young-Chan describes himself as coming from the Planet of Snail, a reference to the way he experiences the world almost entirely through the sense of touch.

When he meets his wife and soulmate, Soon-Ho, his world opens up as she becomes his eyes and ears and teaches him to read using Braille.

But Soon-Ho has problems of her own in the form of a severe spinal disability, and as time goes by they must both come to terms with the fact that Soon-Ho may not always be there for Young-Chan.
