Imagine, the Sky plot

Watching a movie. That seems strange, because it is about a home for blind teenagers in Sierra Leone. Imagine, the Sky is a philosophical and observational documentary portrait of the students at the Milton Margai School for the Blind in Freetown, Sierra Leone. A makeshift courthouse in the school is the heart of the film. An impulsive blind judge questions the school's teens about their alleged crimes. Food appears to play a leading role in this, and whether or not owning a spoon is the common thread. Who ordered the banned chewing gum? How did someone give their lunch to a friend? The schoolgirls also tell their allegorical stories, in which a spider can be the center of a creation story and a baboon is the embodiment of evil.
