Blind Loves

Invited

How do you search when you cannot see? As stunning cinematically as it is emotionally, this film gives new and tender meaning to the old adage that love is blind.  A married couple rely on music and imagination to escape from their small apartment. A man falls for a woman in his blind group, only to find that her parents are opposed to his ethnicity. A husband and wife prepare for the birth of their child and ponder what it will be to guide a young baby who may be able to see. A teenage girl spends hours chatting online, hoping to make a connection. Portraying a world without sight through a visual medium is not an easy feat, but the grace and sensitivity of this films transport us inside a different existence. Perhaps the incredible gift of sight may be of no consequence when compared to the incredible gift of love. ST
