This is a movie that people can't help but scream after watching. The director tells the inner world of a blind girl through a wonderful narrative structure and excellent editing techniques. The director took a different approach by visualizing the mental world and thoughts and emotions of the blind girl, allowing the whole film to alternate between reality and fantasy. In this seemingly alternating process of the two stories, the stories gradually merged and communication took place. , And finally merged into one, thus reflecting the mental state of blind women.



Ingrid, who had been blind soon, stayed in the apartment all the time. Her husband encouraged her to go out more and learn to adapt, but the stubborn one still stayed in the apartment, almost repeating the same life day after day. In this monotonous life, Ingrid has a secret, that is, she writes on the computer the stories she has imagined in her mind: about her husband cheating and often sneaking home at work, sitting on the sofa to observe her ; About a single mother, about a single man who is lonely and full of various fantasies about women... And in this life script of Ingrid, the husband meets the single mother from the Internet, and visits and dates with her, and then The single mother's eyes suddenly went blind. The director used the camera to switch to show Ingrid's absolute control over the characters in her own story. She closed her eyes and the single mother immediately went blind; she coughed and the single man immediately woke up from his sleep. In this fantasy world constructed by Ingrid, the husband is between reality and fantasy. Ingrid fantasizes about her husband flirting with a woman behind her back, having a relationship with a single mother, and causing her to become pregnant. The single mother wore a ridiculous dress and went to her husband’s party to find him, only to find that the husband had fornication with many women...



We gradually discovered that the story that Ingrid imagined about another woman or man, or even her husband, It's not just her boring pastime. In this story, Ingrid was almost unconsciously devoted to what she had encountered or just experienced or a certain emotion, and the pregnancy of the single mother was also in her subconscious mind. Conjecture that you might be pregnant. This fantasy story is the concrete treatment of Ingrid's inner world and those fears, fragility, fear and sadness. It is Ingrid's inner world, abstract thoughts and emotions that we generally cannot see directly with our eyes. With the director's handling, we see Ingrid's anxious and uneasy psychological state of a woman who has just gone blind soon. These realistic images being staged are the source of her inner crisis, and this led to the final outburst of this fantasy story.



The single mother who was arguing with her husband suddenly became Ingrid herself, and the husband directly questioned her. These conversations that took place in Ingrid's heart and mind were seen by us, and through this hypothetical dialogue scene, Ingrid gradually saw her own fear. The story she imagined entered into her story, and the two stories finally merged into one, facing questions and doubts, facing anxiety about the world, and facing life after blindness. In the dark room that Ingrid had never entered, her unscrupulous fantasies that hid her thoughts and emotions were unscrupulous, and it was this unscrupulous and retaken obstacle that she could finally go out and face her heart. Shining sunlight.



The director's novel narrative structure and image style are the biggest features of this movie. Those virtual and real switching and editing of shots are almost a textbook. In such a novel and interesting format, the director gave a story about facing his own life. Those fears, anxiety, and crises all need to be faced on their own. Perhaps you can find a way to open the door from another angle.
