This documentary follows the life of Ednilson Sacramento — a writer, music producer, punk zine pioneer from Bahia, and accessibility activist — who, for over four decades, has defied a world not built for blind people.

From the underground scene of the 1980s to the creation of inclusive policies, Ednilson has carved paths where others saw only barriers. With sharp insight, he transforms the loss of sight into a deeper way of perceiving. Through his work in culture, music criticism, and audio description advocacy, he reveals how blindness can, paradoxically, uncover the blindness of society itself.
