The film explores themes of blindness with Rosie, who struggles to confront a serious condition affecting her sight and Jerry, who's concern for their child and his strained relationship with her makes him just as blind. Within both are views of the world that are shaped by a constant slippage of sight. This unsettling view is at the heart of the film, where the camera is more than just an unreliable narrator but is the willing veil shaped by the imagined belief of our own thoughts. A technological gaze that is itself implicated in an objective blindness. Where the Optician can only provide an expertise, powerless to intervene like the audience sitting in the blackened silence.
