The Portuguese Nobel Prize for literature takes us the hand and leads you into one of the representations at the same time the darkest and brightest humanity. A trip to hell for a port to "see the stars."
The plot: In any city of any country, a driver is stopped at traffic lights waiting for the green when he realizes losing their sight. At first he thinks this is a temporary discomfort, but it is not. He was diagnosed with blindness due to an unknown disease: a "mildew" which wraps its victim in a white light, like a sea of \u200b\u200bmilk. This is not an isolated case: it is the beginning of an epidemic that increasingly affects the whole city, and the entire country. The blind, confined to a former mental hospital and forced to live in total abbruttimento who has not yet been infected, "they discover - as written by Cesare Segre - about themselves and in themselves, the bloody repression and hypocrisy of power, oppression, blackmail and, worse, indifference. " Between violence and the struggle for survival will fit the figure of a woman who, with a gesture of love, will restore hope to humanity.
