Ane, 13, has lost her sight. While her parents are busy trying to have her operated on time and again, she has entered puberty and is starting to ask herself questions. What does it mean to be attractive? Could someone fancy me? While on holiday at the family’s seaside home, they suddenly receive a visit from her Uncle Antonio, a photographer who has travelled the world and blows in like a breath of fresh air. It’s the summer of her first love... and her first period. Antonio introduces Ane to photography. Camera in hand like a detective, and to her mother’s despair, Ane starts capturing everyday scenes, until she falls upon things no-one wants to see or be seen... Far from considering herself to be a victim, Ane struggles to find her own way as a blind teenager.
