Holding hands for love, you are my eyes

Many people think that love is very complicated, but it is actually very simple. Love makes you feel happy, love makes you feel like the sun is shining all over your body, and it's so warm. When you find true love, the lover will become your eyes and take you to see this wonderful world!

In the movie "Love, Simple", the blind boy Leo was born invisible and had insomnia in both eyes. In his world, it was always dark. His parents regarded him as a person who could not live independently. His parents were always worried about him. Everything he does has to be reported to his parents, and he can't go camping like other classmates. His parents tried their best to protect him and not let him do anything alone.


Leo, who has insomnia in both eyes, cannot feel the stimulation of images and vision, and can only understand the world by hearing, touch and smell. The naughty boys in the class hated Leo and didn't want to sit behind him. They disliked the rattling sound of his typewriter during class. The new transfer student Gabriel volunteered to sit behind Leo. He knew that Leo could not see him, but he still regarded him as a normal person. Gabriel takes Leo to do things he's never done before, like watching a movie, watching an eclipse, dancing, going to a party, going camping, and grabbing his first kiss. For Gabriel, Leo, who doesn't like to wear sunscreen, started wearing sunscreen.


At the end of the film, the blind boy Leo rode a bicycle with Gabriel to the distance. Love has nothing to do with age, gender, and internationality. The real lover will become your eyes, bring you a whole new world, and make you feel the beauty of this world!

The Way He Looks quotes

  • Giovana: [watching Karina meet Gabriel outside the boys' bathroom] She's such a slut, isn't she? There. She's made her move. She is all friendly, talking to him, playing with her hair. She touched his shoulder, Leo. And his hand! She doesn't even know if he's washed it.

  • Carlos: I was thinking about the exchange program you talked about.

    Leonardo: Really?

    Carlos: Really, but you can't talk while you're shaving.

    Leonardo: Sorry.

    Carlos: I'm trying to understand your desire to go so far away. I think it's natural, especially at your age, to want to see other places, meet new people, make other friends. I think it's normal, but I also think it's very natural to fight with your parents. I was like that, too, but it's too extreme to leave the country to run away from the fights. You know... I'm thinking about talking to your mother about the program, but first I need to understand if you want to go for the right reasons. Do you agree, Leo? Do you agree?

    Leonardo: Can I talk now?
