Synopsis: | A city is hit by an epidemic of white blindness. The blindness spreads, sparing no one. Authorities confine the blind to a vacant mental hospital secured by armed guards. Inside, the criminal element among the blind hold the rest captive: food rations are stolen, women are raped. There is one eyewitness to this nightmare who guides seven strangers through the barren streets. The developments within this oddly anonymous group-the first blind man, the old man with the black eye patch, the girl with dark glasses, and the boy with no mother-are as uncanny as the surrounding chaos is harrowin | |||||
