Vini is a university student who is in a tough spot in his life. He lacks companionship, is severely introverted and anxiety-ridden. When the state of his well-being is far from healthy he meets Emma, a bubbly, extroverted blind girl who he initially wants nothing to do with. A couple of coincidental meetings later, Vini’s quietness starts to crack, and he learns to get out of his shell and begins to find happiness. Vini’s problems seem to be a thing of the past but soon enough his journey to find himself reveals the truths he may not want to know.
