Through the Viewfinder

Robert, a photographer with glaucoma, is a loving husband to his wife Anna and father to their newborn daughter Erica. Anna has just been diagnosed with cervical cancer. The couple stands by each other throughout their battles against glaucoma and cancer, remaining hopeful after both of them receive good prognosis from their doctors. This is until Robert notices his vision tunneling more as months pass, causing him to worry about not seeing Erica grow up. 6 years later, Robert is totally blind. He finds himself at Anna’s funeral with now toddler Erica who is unable to grasp the situation. Seeing nothing but darkness, he learns to appreciate the sounds of the environment around him and hearing the voice of his daughter growing up. With Erica getting older, he gets reminded of the beauty in life despite his blindness.
