In today’s Tirana, AGIM and GEZIM, two inseparable deaf-mute identical twin brothers in their thirties, live under the same roof. ANA, GEZIM’s girlfriend, a young high-spirited woman in her thirties, visits them quite often. One evening, AGIM is driving back home with GEZIM, when his sight gets blurred and a fatal accident nearly occurs. At the ophthalmologist, a few days later, the two brothers discover that due to a rare and genetic disease, they will separately, but progressively and irreversibly go blind. Slowly immersing into an unbearable silenced darkness, not being able to see the world and each other anymore, only ANA by their side, the two brothers have to make a strong decision around a cup of coffee with new shoes on.
