The movie Touch of the Light showcases the challenges and obstacles a disabled person has to go through life, and in this case, a person that is blind.

The film begins with a blind person preparing to go to Taipei in order to get a degree in music. However, the university the blind man is going to never dealt with a blind person, so they are concerned they wont be able to handle the person. However, the school isn't the only problem the blind man has to go through. Although the situation has gotten better as the film progressed, at the beginning, no-one in the class wished to be associated with him. When there was a group project, no-one wished for the blind man to be with them, and there was even a student who told him not to waste his time.

At the beginning stages, the mother helped the blind man adopt. She helped him with transversing around campus, and helped him organize things in his dorm. Furthermore, it seemed that the mother had an influence on helping the blind man’s dorm mate accept him. Although, this is just my intuition, and perhaps I am wrong. 

Later, the blind man and the dorm mate created a club together, and in the final stages, they did a group performance. One thing to note was that the blind man did not like performing in concerts. This is because when he was a child, he overheard someone say that he won a contest only because he was blind, and that the judges felt bad for him. However, it seems that both the club and his crush persuaded him to start performing in the concerts again.

One thing I would like to highlight is how the director portrayed the blind people as people who couldn't completely understand the environment around, and as a result, requires special care. For example, after becoming more familiar with his crush, he asked “What is Dancing?” And it became like a personal quest to find out what it was like to dance. There was a scene where, after receiving an explanation from his roommate of what dancing is like, he started attempting to dance in his own bed.
