The black and white landscape is first undefined and dissolves in gleaming brightness into something unrecognizable. What seems like image interference turns out to be an approach to a rare vision disorder: achromatopsia, the inability to perceive color and visual acuity at high light levels. How can you show what cannot be expressed? The Achromatic Island is a film on seeing and on the limits of language.
