Tocando la Luz looks at the blind community of Havana, Cuba, to tell the stories of three remarkable women who are navigating their profound desires for independence. Margarita belongs to a blind cinema club. A former revolutionary, she speaks openly about the death of her husband, remembering the time they shared together as she treasures his belongings and aches for his company. Milly is young and in love with a man, also blind, who encourages her to go out in the world. She dreams of having a family of her own but fights with her parents over her lack of autonomy. And Lis is a remarkable singer who performs at shows and competitions. Her exceptional talent brings in needed money for her family, but she still relies on her mother to help her get around. Director Jennifer Redfearn intersects with their lives at a time of potential change and uncertainty. Echoing its title, the film radiates with possibility. These sensorial observations of moments in the women’s daily lives and their poignant conversations with loved ones are not without heartbreak, but their resolve is utterly inspiring.  ST
