en Benedito Senna is blind, and perhaps for that reason his life choices as much as his poetry are so imagetic.

de Benedito Senna ist blind und möglicherweise sind aus genau diesem Grund sowohl sein Leben als auch seine Gedichte so bildgewaltig. Nach dem Umzug von der brasilianischen Stadt Belém nach Paris, verliebt sich Benedito in Jean Luc, einen hingebungsvollen Leser seiner Gedichte, den er schließlich auch heiratet. Ebenfalls in Paris lernt er einen anderen Benedito kenne, einen brasilianischen Filmregisseur und Visual Artist. Dem gemeinsamen Interesse an Bildern und an Poesie entwächst eine bemerkenswerte Freundschaft, die schließlich zu einem gemeinsamen Filmprojekt führt. Während der Dreharbeiten stellen sie jedoch fest, dass die Voraussetzungen nicht mehr die gleichen sind, und es werden Unterschiede sichtbar. THE LAST IMAGE ist nicht nur eine Reflexion über das Visuelle und seinen Platz im Leben eines blinden Künstlers, sondern auch über das Filmschaffen selbst.
