Sean, a deaf librarian, is offered his hearing back by a mischievous, magical character - at a price. The film is a metaphor for the choices we make in life. Whenever we choose to go down a particular road we sacrifice all the other roads we could have gone down - and we've no way of knowing what we're missing out on. Imagine if we were offered the opportunity to switch paths - to have another life in exchange for the one we've got. „Beautifully shot, fantastic sound, strong acting and a very human story“, said the jury. The Librarian’s Dream was the winner of the BBC’s young talent award „Choice Cuts“ 2001 in the professional category.
