Ruben’s entire life revolves around music. His girlfriend is the singer in his band and his entire identity and career revolves around his ability as a drummer. But Ruben has a serious problem, he is losing his hearing; completely and rapidly. This sometimes tough watch is one of the more beautiful stories I’ve seen in quite some time. (Maybe the fact that I am a former drummer who’s experienced some hearing loss maybe has something to do with it!) Ruben realizes that sometimes you have to lose the thing you love in order to find the life you really want.
