Synopsis

"Film about loves you should see."

A playful, thoughtful documentary from Slovakia about four people, each blind since birth, making their way in life and in love. A Roma boy finds that his girlfriend's parents do not like the colour of his skin, a teenage girl dates online, a couple prepare for their first child, and a piano teacher has an underwater fairytale adventure in his small flat. With occasional animated interludes and an extraordinary intimacy, this film gives a sense of the world as lived in by the blind.
