At First Sight (1999)

In the vibrant hustle of Manhattan, Amy, a dedicated architect, seeks solace at a tranquil resort. Here, she encounters Virgil, a blind masseur who has been shrouded in darkness since the tender age of three. Guided by his devoted sister, Virgil introduces Amy to the unseen beauty of the world, igniting her spirit and sparking an unexpected surge of creativity. A poignant love story unfolds, ornamented with the comic relief provided by Nathan Lane's visual therapy sessions. Despite the sister's apprehensions, Amy takes a leap of faith, drawing Virgil into the glaring lights of New York. A radical, unprecedented surgical procedure offers him the chance to perceive the world anew. As he grapples with the unfamiliar sensory overload of sight, the once foreign concept of visual memory begins to take root, stitching together the fragments of his past and present. However, this newfound vision comes with its own set of challenges. It strains his blossoming relationship with Amy, invites the unwanted attention of his estranged father, and is threatened by the looming specter of a retinal disease that could plunge him into darkness once more. Amidst these trials, the question remains: Can love endure, and will Virgil find peace in his transformed world? This compelling drama, true to its title, explores the myriad facets of love as it manifests in art, architecture, education, parenting, and even the humble touch of a massage.
