| Legendary
filmmaker Amir Naderi had the audacity to compose his
next film of only two scenes, plus a brief prelude and
epilogue. Out of this massive risk has come an undeniable
masterpiece, Sound Barrier.
An 11-year-old boy, Jesse, travels from Manhattan with
a letter and a key to a Queens storage unit. In this tiny
room, he searches for an audiocassette recording of his
deceased mother. Desperate to hear her voice, he hopes
she will provide clues to their past and himself. But
even if he finds the tape, Jesse will face another obstacle.
He is both deaf and mute. [ more
