After her father is arrested for political reasons by the Turkish
government, little Sirin is finally allowed to visit him in prison for
the first time. When a prison official interprets her painting of a
bird as an anarchistic symbol and confiscates it, the girl is
devastated, but her father encourages her to believe in the freedom of
thought. For her second visit, she paints a "harmless" mandarin tree.

Two everyday people meet in the dark. The darkness of an invisible
exhibition. Through the film we follow them as they get closer and
move apart from each other by crossing blurry boundaries.
Boundaries that exist between and within people and are mostly
invisible. Not only for the blind.
