| | Notes | B/W. A Swiss Pastor discovers a neglected and uneducated blind girl and teaches her to live a fuller life. At the same time he becomes passionate for her and breaks up his own family. Blindness is here a metaphor for people's spiritual blindness something difficult to avoid in the creative arts. Filmmakers and writers are sometimes reluctant to tell the straight story of someone coping with, overcoming a disability. Television tends to be more literal in its approach. But we have to decide from which we learn more, reportage or imagination. From the novel by Andre Gide N.B.. This film is generally known by its French title.
