    • Synopsis
    • Return to the Light tells the story of Noelia, who at the age of 29 goes blind, falling into a deep depression. How could she be a mother without seeing? How could she not forget the faces of her loved ones? How could she understand the world without being able to see it?

      Desperate, she considers death as a way out of the problem, but her life impulses prevail and push her out of the darkness. Little by little she learns to live with her blindness and in the process of adaptation she falls in love with a man born blind, from whom she takes tools to accept her new reality.

      This resurgence awakens a light of hope in Noelia's life, who sets out to rebuild the damaged bond with her daughter based on trust.
