Proof

(Australia, 1991, 86’, col.)

Blind from birth, Martin grew up with the conviction that his mother described him as an altered visual reality. The man is assisted by a governess his age, Celia, who is in love with him without him knowing. Martin tries to know the reality that surrounds him by photographing it and getting the photos described by the woman. The relationship between the two, ambiguous and marked by psychological prevarication, is bound to change when Martin meets Andy, a young man, passionate about photography, that will open a new window on the world to him.

With Hugo Weaving, Russel Crowe, Geneviève Picot, Frankie J. Holden
