Synopsis
I try to set this work – a film using texts, or a film-book – between watching and reading. This film is dedicated to J. L. Borges, a great artist, who translated The Happy Princeby Oscar Wilde at his early childhood, became one of the greatest writers of the 20th century and continued to publish the works by dictation even after losing his eyesight.
