The Blind Fisherman

The Blind Fisherman presents the life of Yannis Koukoumialos, who lost his eyesight and his arm at the age of eleven. Born in the fishing village of langada, on the island of chios, he learned the art of fishing at a very young age. Using images he recalls from before he was blinded, in a world that is organized and structured in his mind, guided by his sixth sense and a divine power, he has charted a map with which he has been sailing the sea for the last 70 years. In this documentary we embark with kyr Yiannis on a journey where fairytale and reality are two sides of the same coin, revealing the opposing and fascinating forces that color the human soul.
