Introduction

Three of Edith and Seb’s four children are irreversibly losing their sight. So, they decide to take the children around the world to build their visual memories. Before long they are exploring a rainforest, drinking juice on a camel and riding horses in Mongolia. Roher (Navalny) and Stenson’s documentary is a moving portrait of a family coming to terms with tumultuous change, and a wonderous, awe-inspiring travelogue.
