Browse Full-length Non-member TitlesCarmen dreamed of a career on the stage, despite turning legally blind at 18 due to retinitis pigmentosa. Steve imagined a life on the screen, but his plans were ended by muscular dystrophy. Today the theater of their lives is defined by the walls of their tiny apartment, where Steve spends much of the day watching old movies and providing audio description for Carmen. Fiercely independent, Carmen navigates the cluttered street of their neighborhood with her white cane and unflagging determination. Shows an exploration of lives and a relationship filled with frustration, but held together with patience, stubbornness, forgiveness, and love. NOTE: Contains profanity. Accessibility options on the DVD are: (1) expanded description, (2) English subtitles in a black box, (3) subtitled expanded description.
