About this listen

 In a secluded cabin deep in the wilderness, a tangled web of emotions unfolds among four unlikely companions the brooding fugitive Hugh, his youthful brother Pete, the nurturing nursemaid and cook Bella, and the newly arrived Sylvie, who has been rescued from near death only to find herself snow-blind. Misled by her condition, Sylvie imagines Hugh as a dashing hero, sees Pete as just a boy of 14, and perceives Bella as a matronly figure. As the days pass, Sylvie begins to challenge these perceptions, determined to unite the group before they risk falling apart. This gripping tale reveals the extraordinary ability of the blind to navigate their world with heightened senses, offering a poignant reminder of human connection in the face of adversity.
