Synopsis: A missing person case involving a female university student and the victim in a hit and run case appears to be the same person. Detectives look for a witness. A witness, Min Soo-Ah appears, but she is blind and thus not believed. She used to be a promising student at the police academy. With her acute senses, Min Soo-Ah is able to reveal important clues on the hit and run case. Another witness, Kwon Gi-Seob then appears, who witnessed the case with his own eyes, gives contradictory statements to Min Soo-Ah.
Review: Before the movie, there has been an explaination on the methods used to make movies sensable to blind people. Audiodescription and subtitles. The first scene of the movie has been shown in the different ways. This was really interesting as well as the comments of blind people explaining which way they prefer and how they sense a movie.  The story is great and the way some proof is given that the blind perceive a lot via the other senses is also funny. The referee being the police. The story works well against the stereotpyes. From the film point of view, the movie starts with a fast pace and then slows down until the half of the movie. In these quite 30 minutes, the stereotypes are broken and then we can focus again on the suspense story, following the killer with a vicious camera angle. The couple built by the witness and the inspector makes also very funny scenes.
