The sense of vision is so fundamental to the lives of so many that it is often taken for granted. Meanwhile, not everyone can use it to the same extent. This film tells a story about a group of massage therapists in St Petersburg, Russia, who have either damaged, lost, or never had vision. They are learning to communicate with the world and perform their professional duties through another sense — touch. This film is a short exploration of how they manage to do it.
