"A disabled person in Europe is like an Indian in America, because other people often do not take him seriously," says the hero of the film, Jan aka Hungry Bison. He was born blind, and unfortunately is also gradually losing his hearing. However, this does not prevent him from enjoying life. He loves his wife, cowgirls, outdoor life, camp fire songs and sausages. Bison does not pray for the recovery of his sight, but he does pray that he will not lose his hearing forever. He wants to retain the ability to communicate with his wife. With loving humour, documentary film maker Pavel Jurda follows the lovestruck couple on their great expedition to America to meet a Navajo chief, who Bison hopes will save him from falling into eternal silence.
