Blind is a story about Ruben, a boy who goes blind and struggles with the acceptance of his new state. He eventually falls in love with Marie, a woman who is twice his age who believes she is ugly and unworthy of affection. Ruben sees in his blindness the fantastic beauty of Marie that Marie herself hadn’t the courage to see with her eyes open. Their relationship is a perfect match: the blind is paired with one who does not wish to be seen. Dialogue is sparse and the images will haunt your imagination. The film leaves the viewers with the clichéd question: what is love? Love isn’t blind - it closes its eyes ‘perchance to dream.’
