Red Like the Sky

Mirco Mencacci (Luca Capriotti) is a young Tuscan boy who loses his sight in a gun accident. His life shifts direction as law insists that he attend a School for the Blind. As a feisty and quick-witted kid, he doesn't fit into the rigid social networks at all. In fact, his creativity runs foul of the headmaster again and again. A gift of a sound recorder is the means by which Mirco explores a whole new world, one filled with sound as expression. He gradually persuades his fellow pupils to join in, and a wonderful anarchy results. Based on a fascinating true-life story, the real Mencacci would go on to be one of Italy's most successful film sound designers.
