Teen on Skateboard: Oh, shit. Thanks. I didn't see that.
Sydney Wells: Neither did I.
Sydney Wells: [voice-over while Sydney walks in the street and settles in a café] People say seeing is believing, but for me, that's not entirely true. I lost my sight when I was five years old. Those memories of what I have seen have faded so much that I doubt I'd even recognize myself anymore. Now I see using my other senses. I can smell the rain before it drops, but I can't watch it fall. I can feel the sun on my face, but I can't see it rise or set. I want to see the world like everyone else, to see the sun, the rain, the music. Oh I bet music looks beautiful.

Trivia
Co-directors Xavier Palud and David Moreau liked the fact they "could really work on what was not obviously supernatural" and that "there were great opportunities to play with the audience's minds, to show them things that they couldn't determine were real". See more »Goofs
Continuity: Near the beginning when Sydney pours herself a glass of iced tea, the level in the glass decreases between shots, before she even starts to drink from it. See more »Quotes
