About this Movie
Moonlight Sonata: Deafness In Three Movements
Eleven-year-old Jonas, who has a cochlear implant, is struggling to learn the first movement of Beethoven's "Moonlight Sonata" -- which the composer wrote as he was losing his hearing. Jonas' grandparents have been deaf for most of their lives. This film tells an intergenerational tale of deafness, a personal portrait of three lives and the discoveries that lie beyond loss.
Director: Irene Taylor Brodsky
