Lea is a Filipina tour guide living in Sapporo,
Japan who is engaged to Nobu, a young Japanese man. One night, after
receiving a note to meet up at a beer house, she discovers her fiancé
flirting with her own friend, a Filipino-Japanese woman. Before venting
out her anger, she counts slowly from one to ten, and recalls all the
happy memories she shared with Nobu with each count. As she walks out, a
stress-induced blindness occurs and she collapses.
Lea struggles
to adjust to a life with temporary blindness. Sometime later, Tonyo,
Lea's next-door neighbor who is also a Filipino introduces himself to
her and makes an effort to cook for her and cheer her up despite being
rebuffed several times. Tonyo eventually gains Lea's acquaintance and
persuades her to tour with him in and around the city. The two spend
most of their time traveling around tourist spots in Sapporo, with Tonyo
serving as Lea's eyes through all of their moments. The eventually fall
in love and make a promise to re-visit all the places they went to as
soon as Lea regains her eyesight. They later celebrate a pseudo-wedding
where Tonyo gives Lea a Daruma doll—a Japanese doll which is believed to
fulfill wishes of the person who fills out its eyes—and wishes her
recovery from blindness.
When Lea became blind, she finally saw
Tonyo’s real character. It taught me that eyes can simply see another
person, and not really know the real them. Lea saw Tonyo using her
heart, and fell in love with his personality, not just with his exterior
characteristics.
In my opinion, the main lesson of this film is
one that should really be tackled, especially in society today where we
judge a person based on his or her looks, without getting to know the
real them.
All in all, the film was beautifully made, and will guarantee to make you laugh and cry at the same time.
