Description:
When your eyes are covered with opaque cloth, you’re different. Your thought process changes, your physical body and your world view changes. You’re not the same as you were. You are in the unknown, and you’re there alone. Suddenly, tasks that come easy to you need to be done slowly and carefully.
Jekabs parents are blind, so he didn’t have a choice - he has to be responsible and
understanding, he has to live up to his parents' hopes. But that’s not hard at all! Jekabs knows that he’s special - in the world of blindness he is the only one who sees. He’s the only one who can see in the dark! However, life gets complicated when Jekabs starts school and realises that in reality he is the son of blind parents and life itself is one big obligation.
