Gina was in the car
during a hideous car crash that killed her parents. She lost her eyesight when she was a teenager because of the
accident. She is married to James
and they live in Bangkok. Gina
depends entirely on James to help her in the outside world. She usually doesn’t leave their
apartment alone. They hear about a
cutting-edge and highly experimental cornea transplant that could give Gina her
sight back in her right eye. The
optic nerve was too badly damaged in her left eye. Gina does get her sight back and she is overwhelmed by
colors. She hasn’t seen her
husband and her own reflection since she lost her sight. Gina starts to go out into the world
again now that she has vision.
It seems that James
is very happy for Gina to regain her sight but he also feels slighted that she
doesn’t always needing him now.
James and Gina are trying to have a baby but they haven’t had success yet.
There are a several twists in this
film after Gina regains her sight.
I think there are too many scenes showing Gina’s impaired and distorted
vision. We can get the picture
without seeing it over and over. There
is also a very unusual and unnecessary series of scenes when James and Gina
visit Gina’s sister, her husband and their son. 3* (This movie is OK)
