"The fact that someone is born to 'darkness' calls for a number of questions about the ways these people live. One of the most important, in my opinion, is, Where is the source of their happiness? Their world might be lacking sight, but it can be richer in spirituality... Maybe it's they who really understand the true essence of happiness." – Director Juraj Lehotsky.

Blind Loves is a four-part love story; a tender and sensitive portrait on how four sight-impaired people have created unique pathways to love. Featuring dreamlike fantasy alongside docu-realism and heartbreaking truth that sits side by side with heart-warming humour, Blind Loves (Slepé lásky) is a magical and touching picture from a new and critically acclaimed director.

Peter is a music teacher at a school for blind children; he lives with his wife and fuels his vivid imagination through television and radio plays, and dreams of submerging himself in a fairytale world. Miro is a Roma Gypsy in love with partially sighted Monika, though her parents disprove of their pairing her decides to fight for their love. Elena and her husband Laco are both blind and troubled over the impending arrival of their first child and how they will cope bringing up a child. Zuzanna is a teenager and looking for love on the internet.

Director Juraj Lehotsky's acclaimed debut feature is a touching and inventive portrait of the way people live and love without vision, often funny, it's also a daring exercise to present the audience with stories and sequences that straddle fiction and reality even inserting a stunning animated fantasy underwater sequence.

Winner of the C.I.A.C.E. Award at Cannes, the Golden Eye award for Best Documentary in Zurich and the Audience Award for Best Documentary in Triest, Blind Loves will be released by ICA Films on 6th July 2009 at the RRP of £12.99.
