Milan Berg is standing at a set of traffic lights when a car stops next to him. In the back seat he sees a frightened young girl. Desperate, she presses a piece of paper against the window. Milan can't read it - because he suffers from alexia, the inability to read or comprehend the written word. It's a secret that he's managed to hide for most of his life, even from friends and loved ones. But he understands the meaning of the note: the girl is in mortal danger. Milan's search for the kidnapped girl brings a cruel realisation: sometimes the truth is too terrible to live with - and ignorance is the greatest gift on Earth.
