Ferdi desperately wants a girlfriend, but he is ugly. One day he meets Jona, who is blind, and for the first time in his life there is hope. What Ferdi doesn't know is that Jona isn't actually blind; she's only pretending. After she dropped out of school and ran away from home, she needed a place to stay, so she pretended to be blind so she could live with her Cousine Cecile in the Home for the Blind. Should Ferdi find out this ugly truth, he is likely to kill himself.
