14-year-old Leila is only supposed to have her tonsils operated on, a routine procedure. But when she wakes up from the anesthesia, she is suddenly blind. While the doctors are completely at a loss to explain how this could have happened, Leila's father Attila is beside himself. In his opinion, the doctors botched the operation. From day to day, he gets more and more involved in this thought and gets into a downward spiral that seems to have no end. Meanwhile, the family members drift further and further away from each other and become increasingly estranged. One day Attila finally makes a decision that will have consequences...

The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.
I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.
Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.
