What happens

Dark Glasses (Italian: Occhiali neri, lit. 'Black Glasses', French: Lunettes noires) is a 2022 horror film co-written and directed by Dario Argento, in his first directorial work since Dracula 3D (2012). From a screenplay written by Argento with Franco Ferrini and Carlo Lucarelli, Dark Glasses stars Ilenia Pastorelli as an Italian escort who is attacked and blinded by a serial killer in an attempted murder. While escaping the attack by car, she meets a young Chinese boy (Andrea Zhang) who assists her in her lack of sight. Argento's daughter, Asia Argento, appears in the film, and also serves as the film's associate producer. An international co-production of Italy and France, Dark Glasses premiered at the 72nd Berlin International Film Festival on 11 February 2022. It was released theatrically in Italy on 24 February 2022 by Vision Distribution. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
