In the darkness of the cinema, the audience sits blindfolded. Behind each row of audience members is a row of children, who in hushed voices describe a film only they can see. Accompanied by the soundtrack (which has no dialogue), the whispered descriptions are a fragile, fragmented and at times struggling but courageous attempt by the children to make sense of what they see for the first time projected on the screen.
