Singer is a deaf-mute whose small world brings him in contact with a young girl, Mick, who cherishes a seemingly hopeless dream of becoming a concert pianist. At first hostile, Mick soon becomes friends with Singer, hoping to enlarge his small world. Three other central characters come to Singer for help also, each of them seeing in him a powerful force.

在这个创新的双肖像纪录片中，两位美国艺术家的工作、生活和个人旅程与创造性的燃烧结合在一起。
