Amo Beethoven (I Love Beethoven)

One cannot only hear with ones ears. Some people feel the sounds with their skin or with their hearts because their sense of hearing doesnt function. In the Venezuelan city of Barquisimeto, deaf children not only learn how to play instruments, but also how to sing in sign language. The fact that the children do not hear voices is only one of the many handicaps when one lives at the edge of society. However, at the music school they discover a world that is open to each one of them.
The film observes the everyday lives and development of its protagonists in a precise and intimate way. Music as the way out and as a chance for those who practice it.
