Between the recitation of a Kafka story, which he accompanies on the accordion, and a personal homage to Pink Floyd, what Otto Lechner elicits from his accordion is primal musical power. In Bernhard Pötscher’s documentary, we meet the creator of these elemental events; a man who went completely blind as a teenager. Concert recordings combine with personal conversations, carried by an unwavering sense of humor: “I’m privileged by the fact that I can’t see.”
