Film nominato all’oscar nel 2017, »Blind Vaysha« racconta la storia di una bellissima fanciulla con occhi di colore diverso, capci l’uno di vedere il passato, l’altro il futuro. Una fiaba metaforica di una bellezza senza tempo ispirata dall’omonimo racconto di Georgi Gospodinov, e in cui il regista Theodore Ushev ci ricorda l’importanza di saper guardare al presente.

This short film tells the story of Vaysha, a young girl born with one green eye and one brown eye. But colour isn’t the only thing that’s different about Vaysha’s gaze. While her left eye sees only the past; her right sees only the future. Like a terrible curse, Vaysha’s split vision prevents her from inhabiting the present. “Blind Vaysha,” they called her. In this metaphoric tale of timeless wisdom and beauty based on the eponymous short story by Georgi Gospodinov, filmmaker Theodore Ushev reminds us of the importance of keeping our sights on the present moment.
