Imagine Page #4

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

They pour it out of the jar.

I'd like to have that vine, too.

I think I can smell the sea.

Is there a harbour somewhere?

Yes.

Can you hear those engines?

It sounds like motorcycle racing.

But those are the motorboats in the harbour.

How do you recognise it?

They don't stop at the traffic lights.

The pumps press the petrol... and the water.

You can hear cranes.

In front of us is the wharf.

By the wharf there is a big ship.

Mario has forgotten about us. Mario!

I think I'm deaf.

And who has seen today a big ship?

Maybe you've heard the whistle

when the shop had entered the harbour?

And you've forgotten about than.

Or you've woken up.

The same ship that is now in the harbour?

Can you hear it now?

I don't know well the sounds of this district.

But the church bells reverberate from a big surface.

Maybe it's only the wall made of houses?

Mario probably sees less than me. Mario!

You call him.

I've just invited her for the party...

And that's the problem!

Mario!

A beautiful foreigner is waiting!

I'm going to grab this vine myself

I think.

Mario is talking with a girl.

Maybe the portugese boys take

too many orders?

And the coffee becomes cold?

I don't take orders.

But if you want...

Do you want to smell that?

It's strong!

Brandy. Portugese.

The local speciality.

Wait. I haven't pour it yet!

Try it.

No, thank you. I ordered a vine.

Oh no!

Being too careful doesn't help.

Are you listening?

We're starting.

It hasn't brimmed.

Sometimes it's better to act...

... quickly and resolutely.

Let's try once more.

What are you doing here?

What's wrong?

You're not blind!

Why do you think so?

I know how you cross the street.

And how do I cross the street?

You have to see the cars well,

to cross like that.

You are wrong.

You can see...

every car...

...every car on the street...

...makes a horrible noise!

And then it passes by...

you know how far is every car...

and how fast it is.

I don't believe you.

It is your problem, then.

You can prove you are not lying.

How?

You've said you didn't have eyes.

I don't.

So you have fake eyes.

Glass ones, right?

Please.

Touch them yourself.

Should I take them out?

No!

Take them! Please!

I don't want them!

Play with them!

And, what are you doing now?

I'm clicking.

What?

And where is your cane?

I don't have it.

You don't have it?

No.

Do you want to fall down?

Knock your teeth out?

I don't want it. That's why I'm clicking.

Ian, show to the doctor how to click.

The doctor doesn't believe me.

What did he say?

Please, show how to click.

Are you here?

Yes.

Will you click for doctor Pedros?

Sure.

Very well.

Clicking.

Show me how you walk without a cane.
