Miriam Torres stopped seeing and hearing at the age of 7. She learned to speak whilst being deaf-blind and now at 55 years old, she teaches other people with the same disability on how to communicate with others. Based on the diaries of Miriam, the film takes you through the inner journey of a woman seeking to recall the forgotten sights and sounds of her childhood, her mother's face, her own face, and the last image she saw and heard in her life.

A drama-documentary presented by Alan Yentob, with Benedict Cumberbatch in the lead role. Every word spoken by the actors in this film is sourced from the letters that Van Gogh sent to his younger brother Theo, and of those around him. What emerges is a complex portrait of a sophisticated, civilised and yet tormented man.
