That music sounds the same as was used in the film Midnight Cowboy.

what songs are played in this film? I know they are by Vivaldi and Bach but don't know which song.

One Herzogs best documentaries I think. This Vladimi fascinates me.

The woman in green is blind and deaf as well, although not since birth like Vladimir. Thanks for posting. Would be great to see some other moments from the documentary like the airplane flight or the final scene of the man and the tree.

She lay in bed blind and deaf until she learned to comminicate by touch
