The Blind Man Who Did Not Want to See Titanic
synopsis
Internationally acclaimed from Venice to SXSW, this darkly humorous Finnish romance becomes a cinematically unusual action-thriller, empathetically shot from the shallow-focus perspective of a character (and real-life actor) who is blind and unable to walk. The brightest moments in movie lover Jaakko's day are shared on the phone with Sirpa, the woman he loves even though they've never met in person. When Sirpa gets difficult news, Jaako decides he must go to her immediately, but will need the help of five kind strangers between home and her... what could go wrong?
