Leonardo, a blind teenager living in Brazil, is trying to break away from his protective parents and live independently. His best friend Giovana guides him home from school every day, but soon finds herself replaced by the new boy at school, Gabriel. Leonardo falls completely in love with Gabriel, but isn’t sure how to tell him. Positive and affirming, this is destined to be a much-loved classic.
