Six young people are going through different stages of blindness. Energy, sarcasm and spontaneity allow for a captivating immersion into their inner world. "What doesn't kill you makes you stronger, at least for a while" becomes the film’s central message not only for them, but for us all. All supported by black and white images with excellent sound and music collage.
