The Blindflyers

Humor/Everyday life, Germany 2004

Marie is 13 and finds her way around the boarding school, even without the white cane. Being blind is no problem here. If it weren't for her secret longing for the world of the sighted. It takes courage to step out of her comfort zone... That's when she meets Herbert. He can see - and yet sees nothing. Marie feels that this encounter will change everything. She feels that she can suddenly do anything, even form her own band and take part in a TV competition.
