Shot over a five-year period, the movie is a close portrait of four blind people and their partners and loved ones, mostly going about their everyday lives: watching TV, cooking, decorating a Christmas tree... These activities may sound banal, but there is something fascinating, even voyeuristic about seeing them accomplished by the sight-deprived. Exquisitely photographed and edited, Blind Loves touches deeply with its rare and precious insights.
