Synopsis by Rovi
Leigh McCloskey stars in this ABC Afterschool Special as Jeff, a teenage boy who falls in love with Eileen (Jewel Blanch), a fiercely independent blind girl whom he has met at the local swimming pool. Somewhat put off by the girl's adamant insistence that she be treated like a normal person, Jeff begins to wonder what it would be like to be sightless. Thus, he spends an entire day blindfolded -- with surprising results. The final scene, in which Eileen asks Jeff to describe a daffodil, is just as effective today as when first telecast way back in 1976.
