Storyline

For 25-year-old Sebastian it is all about surface and appearance. Life is full of party, money and one-night stands. He has never challenged himself, whether it be his dream of a music career or maybe, especially true love. When everything is at its best in his superficial life he has an accident that leads to him becoming blind. A whole world closes, or rather opens up. When he sees everything in black, he meets Mia, a personal assistant. A girl he normally would not pay any attention to. She becomes the first to successfully open his eyes to what is important in life. But when Sebastian discovers that Mia is not who he expected superficiality gets an entirely different meaning. EGO is a romantic comedy drama about vanity, love, sex, and that things are not always as they seems.

User Reviews

... you like them both.. not at all hard to do

Really..what's up with that.. the girl gives a pretty credible performance in this movie, she's listed second in cast credits (as she rightfully deserves to be).. and yet IMDb doesn't even have a picture of her on file (do a google or bing search and you come up with lots of images that could be used), but they do show her having thirteen filmography credits to her name. It's a pretty good little film, it is real, of course not, nobody watching expects it to be. But casting did their job, and the leads make it work exceptionally well. Everyone watching knows what's going to happen.. and it does. But that doesn't much lessen the enjoyment factor impact of the production. Will you watch it again.. possibly (should you again come across the title).. would you search it out specifically to watch again.. probably not.
