This documentary explores how the blind and visually impaired perceive the world. Through the stories of John, Alain, Sylvie, Aladji and Sarina, it shows that images are not only visual, but also aural and tactile. These characters, each experiencing blindness in their own way, take us on a sensory journey where imagination, memory and discovery play an essential role. Director Marie Mandy uses innovative techniques, such as blurred images and the thermal camera, to offer an experience that challenges the dominance of vision and invites sighted people to rethink their perception of reality.
