His mother struggles with his condition, while his Uncle Maxim, a soldier who has been wounded, thinks about what Petrùsya's life could be like.

Eventually, this leads him to music, where he can express himself and connect with others, promising a touching exploration of existence and artistry through the experience of someone who is blind. **
