- Synopsis
- From the director of the Academy Award nominated film SOPHIE SCHOLL, comes the incredible and inspiring true story of a nearly blind man, who overcomes adversity with extraordinary determination to fulfill his dream of working in a luxury hotel.
  
  MY BLIND DATE WITH LIFE brings to the big screen the heartwarming true story of Saliya (Kostja Ullmann), a promising student who becomes nearly blind as a teenager. In spite of everyone telling him to be realistic about how this limits his life and aspirations, he persistently holds onto his dream of working in a luxury hotel. Without telling anyone that he cannot see, he unbelievably lands an apprenticeship in the most prestigious hotel in Munich. With sheer determination and impressive resilience, he exceeds all expectations and manages to get through his bluff with the help of his mocking and spry best friend (Jacob Matschenz). But when Saliya falls in love with Laura (Anna Maria MÃ¼he), the elaborate deception he so carefully put together begins to fall apart.
