Imagine Page #3

Synopsis: Set in Lisbon, Portugal at an institute for the blind where children are taught to live with their disability, to not take risks, and to be comfortable at all times. Ian a non-conformist teacher who is also blind is hired at the school and introduces revolutionary methods: Rejecting the use of a cane, Ian teaches the children to achieve spatial orientation by using all of their senses including moving by the resonance of sound vibrations (echolocation), instinct, and the creative use of their imagination. Confident and even slightly over-aggressive, Ian charms the children and gives them a reason to hope, though they are always testing and questioning him to prove that he is one of them and never seem quite convinced of his sincerity. Ian's sessions take place right under the window of Eva (Alexandra Maria Lara), an adult patient who never leaves her room and does not speak to anybody. Surprisingly, she becomes one of his most responsive students and there is even a hint of romance. Th

Please!

And zou tell me

what I'm doing and when I shoudl turn back,

as if you were walking yourself.

You're walking.

You're walking on the pavement.

lam

How are you walking, moron?!

Come back!

Didn't you notice when the pavement

finished?

It was you who didn't notice!

You could have been run over!

I do hear when tha pavement finishes.

And haven't you heard

that the car was coming?

I have.

It was you who haven't heard

since you told me to be back right over the car.

How can you hear the end of the pavement?

Follow me.

Carefully, the step.

The end of the pavement is always hearable.

It is between the steps and the noise of the wheels.

From here you can hear it

with the two-step accuracy.

But when you come closer,

you can track it more precisely.

Imagine it. Then you will hear it.

Listen how it gets closer!

Three steps. Two.

The last step before kerb

always sounds differently.

Try it.

Some more steps..?

No!

Ok, do you want to come back

to the doors?

No, I want to go further.

Eva... Don't let people push you.

Follow me.

The passer-bys go round the obstacles

which don't get out of their way.

But you have to keep determined direction.

What was that?

I don't know.

So how could you go round it?

I did the same as the woman in front of us.

Can you hear her steps?

I can hear many steps.

She's got the shoes on real thin leather.

She uses good parfume.

She's doing window-shopping.

Has she turned?

She's gone into the shop.

A man with the newspaper behind us.

Let him go.

He has a pin in his sole,

can you hear that?

Aren't we following him?

I prefer the other one.

Can you smell him?

Weird parfume.

The mix of yesterday's night drinks

and the morning beer.

What kind of the tree is that?

Can you reach the leaves?

What is this fruit?

Try it.

A cherry.

I can't reach it.

Yes, you can.

You just don't know where to look for it.

Those are bad. Too shy.

Shy? How is that?

Not good.

Trash.

What?

Those are alright.

Eight out of ten.

Try those.

Walk once more.

Some more steps.

Those are the best shoes in the whole shop.

The chair.

What is the chair doing here?

I don't know.

People are sitting on those chairs.

And what are they doing?

I don't know.

Let's have a sit. We'll see what happens.

This is the wind from the see.

How do you know?

I can smell it.

They play checkers.

And drink home-made wine out of the mugs.

Good morning.

Americans?

No. An English man.

German,

Put your hand out.

What's your name?

Two coffees for us, Mario.

Of course!

He didn't notice that I was blind?

No. But don't hold your menu upside down.

How do you know they drink home-made vine?
