A mountaineer named Nunez stumbles into a hidden valley where generations of blindness created an isolated society that rejects the concept of sight. Believing “the one-eyed man is king,” he tries to dominate them but fails as the blind community sees him as defective and insane. Torn between love and losing his vision forever, Nunez ultimately escapes toward freedom and the mountains.
