'Vision is the art of seeing what is invisible to others' - Jonathan Swift. In 1978, French artist and filmmaker Hugues de Montalembert was blinded in a violent acid attack while living in New York. This extraordinary film is a portrait of his incredible reaction to such a traumatic event - within a few months he was travelling alone in Indonesia, refusing to be a victim to sightlessness and embracing his new perceptions and awareness. This magnificent film presents the world from the perspective of de Montalembert with an exquisite and radical originality.
