## Synopsis (in-house rewrite)

A rare love story filtered through what can’t be seen. A cameraman losing his sight crosses paths with a reclusive sound recorder who’d rather hear nothing at all. It leans hard on metaphor, but the light—it’s always about the light.

**Mood tags**: bittersweet, slow-burn, tender
