It is your not so ussual movie like now a days. It ahs this unique twist of having a lady being fall in love with a blind guy since birth. They have found each other's love during the girl's vacation. She was able to enjoy a sensual spa and the guy is working at the lodge or hotel that the girl is also staying for the weekend.
Funny thing here is the girl is trying to convince the guy that there's a great world out there that he should "sees" but even undergoing operations still doesn't work.
In the end, they've learn to accept each other for who they are and even these challenges didn't break them apart. Love the story. It's somewhat practical and realistic. Minus the effects, minus the crappy lines. Just like; "closing your eyes" and feel the emotions :)
How does it feels to be blind?

I thought this was a very good movie. Very entertaining. Both actors had chemistry and that added to the movie. None of his movies seem to have bad lines. lol It would be weird to be born blind, regain your sight and then lose it again. What a heart break, huh?

Yup; that part is like a challenging scenario for the couple because they coexist in something that is not common for them.
He regain sight because the girl take her time getting a surgeon which deals specifically for eyes. The doctor was able to restore his eyes but due to the patient's inborn disease that cause his eyes to get "black out" again.
But I appreciate the effort of the lady teaching the guy colors, items, animals, fish and attractions. But yeah, that moment when the guy is about to loose his sight again is painful for their relationship but despite of that; they have learn to accept and love each other more :)
