Unseen

2007 · 10 min

A tender, bittersweet vignette that lingers on the ache of longing and the fear of intimacy, told with quiet restraint.

Overview: One evening, a blind woman comes out of her car with a tear-stained face. In a flashback, we see the preceding events. She sits on a swing and falls for a man's voice who asks her for directions. But she does not want to touch his face. As a girl, she could fantasise about her face, until she touched it. Now, she fears the same with the man.
