"Just a note to inform you that this is a Hong Kong Release, not Japanese. My copy played very well. These imports have a tendency to not play well in older dvd players. Make sure you have a recent model (2-years or less) dvd player. A beautiful film... In the beginning of the 19th century, Johannes Elias Alder is born in a small village in the Austrian mountains. While growing up he is considered strange by the other villagers and discovers his love for music, especially playing the organ at the local church. After an accident his eye color changes and his hearing becomes so sensitive that he can hear even the most subtle sounds. Elias falls in love with Elsbeth, the sister of Peter, a neighbor's son, who also has loving feelings towards him. After Elsbeth marries someone else, Elias (aged 22) decides to end his life by not sleeping anymore. 1996 Golden Globes Best Foreign Language Film."
