“Blindness” is defined as the inability to visually perceive things due to some “injury, disease, or congenital condition.” But it’s also used to describe a “lack of perception, awareness, or judgment.” In other words, “ignorance.”
▫️
BLIND INNOCENCE, written and directed by HUGO ANDRE, is the story of a father and daughter, living in isolation in an 1800’s countryside cottage. We follow their humble day-to-day existence, as they live without any of the modern comforts and conveniences we enjoy.
▫️
Over time, the youngster is confounded by her father’s daily outings, and his disappearances spark a curiosity, as the child was never allowed to travel beyond the property’s perimeters. But as the film progresses, we uncover the deep, dark, secret underlying their seclusion.
▫️
Submitted to festivals across the globe, BLIND INNOCENCE has received stellar reviews, and an array of accolades, including:
▫️
