Synopsis
A film crew challenge two teenagers, Zé Pedro, blind since birth and Linda, who lost her sight in her adolescence, to make a short film in which they participate not only as protoganists, but also as directors. Zé Pedro watches films assiduously and Linda fell in love with ice-skating when watching it on television. He plays with his imagination to construct the film and she uses her memory to create images from her previous experiences. Both film what they do not see, moments, forms, smells and sounds that have become important in their lives. They select and edit the most important passages in order to transmit that which they intend and imagine to be the final result.
