Two identical deaf-mute twin brothers discover they suffer from a genetic disease that will also progressively and irreversibly make them blind.

In today’s Tirana, Agim (Rafael Morais) and Gezim (Edgar Morais), two inseparable deaf-mute identical twin brothers in their forties, live under the same roof. One evening, Agim is driving back home when his sight gets blurred and a fatal accident nearly occurs. At the ophthalmologist, a few days later, the two brothers discover that due to a genetic and rare disease, they will separately, but progressively and irreversibly go blind. Slowly immersing into an unbearable silenced darkness, not being able to see the world and each other anymore, the two brothers have to make a strong decision around a cup of coffee and with new shoes on.
