Markos, an eccentric, chatty private investigator who’s deathly afraid of the dark, is hired by a mysterious, anonymous client to solve the murder of Petros Lontos, principal of the boarding school for the visually impaired “Topos”. He travels to a remote part of the countryside where the school is and enters the secluded community of the blind residents and the victim’s colleagues in his search for the killer.

Dr. Lontos’ blind widow, her voyeur son, the school’s sleazy doctor, the attractive madame of a neighbouring brothel: they all seem to have something to hide. Things get even more complicated when Markos starts to suspect that someone among the blind residents can actually see. Each lead he comes across reveals more questions, like a Russian Doll that keeps revealing secret after secret wrapped in each other.
