A blind woman and a man with cancer meet in a hospital through their shared interests. The man, who has lost all hope in life, is gradually drawn to the woman’s optimism and decides to donate his corneas to her. Just then, he learnsthere might still be a chance for him to survive. What choice will he make?

For the woman, the outside world has always been unknown. She has never truly seen the world and relies solely on what others describe to her.
One day, she learns that she may finally be able to have surgery. During a hospital visit for tests, she meets a young boy in the waiting area. The boy once described to her the world beyond the window, sparking her curiosity. But at some point, the boy disappears without a trace. Longing for the view he described, the woman visits the waiting area almost every day, imagining the scenery he once painted for her.
