Within this community, we witness seduction, suffering, and above all, the search for love. With an emphasis on sound and the use of subjective and blurry cinematography, the film excellently recreates the perspective of the visually impaired community. Teaming with soundscape design and piano melody, Jóhann Jóhannsson and Jonas Colstrup’s score contributes significantly to convey the nuanced emotions and psyches of the characters. The film received 6 awards from the 51st Golden Horse Awards, including Best Feature Film.
