Description:

This film follows a young boy whose fascination with blindness and violence intensifies, gradually taking over his life. As he explores darker aspects of his mind, the boundary between what's real and what he imagines becomes increasingly unclear, leading him down a dangerous path. The movie examines the loss of innocence and the effects of an unrestrained imagination through the boy’s troubling journey. He becomes increasingly isolated within his own thoughts, struggling to distinguish reality from his elaborate fantasies. With striking visuals and a strong performance from the young actor, this film offers a chilling exploration of the destructive potential of an uncontrolled mind. It's a captivating story that prompts viewers to consider their own perceptions of reality and imagination.
