Synopsis

Martin, blind since birth, trusts nobody. As a young boy he had the feeling that even his mother lied to him as a punishment for being blind. As an adult he copes with his disability by taking his photographs as proof that the world he imagines is the same world that sighted people see. For years he has waited for someone he trusts to describe his photos to him, so when he meets Andy, Martin feels that he is close to knowing the truth. But Andy is only human, and Martin's jealous housekeeper, Celia, is not sure that she wants Martin to have the independence he so strongly desires.
