Where is the image born? Gerardo Nigenda lost his sight permanently at the age of 26. He started taking pictures at age 32. He learned photography when he was the manager of the Braille System at the Manuel Álvarez Bravo Photographic Center, in Oaxaca, Mexico. This documentary shows us that it is not necessary to be able to see in order to create images these don´t come from sight exclusively.
