    Escaping the Shadows...
    Bengt's lost his sight and is blind, his future now closed and confined, a musical career, may also disappear, a world for which he wasn't designed (just how do you come to terms with losing your sight and all the unplanned futures it brings).

    Ingrid is a servant, a maid, she's become Bengt's supporter and aid, now he's opened her eyes, to the world and its skies, no longer surrounded by shade (the foundation for all success - opportunity, empowerment and education).

    It's not a complex tale of two people finding themselves, but it's a beautifully performed story of two people falling in love under circumstances neither would have wished for, as their social status adjusts and their outlooks align.
