Octavia

Octavia is a young adult and blind. Her mother died when she was five, and simply stated, her father hates her. He is very cold towards her. Even though he is wealthy and lives in a huge house (he is a diamond dealer), he is stone cold. She has never experienced the warm touch of another person that she can remember. She has an uncle whom she adores, but he will not let him see her. One day, a criminal on the lam being chased by police manages to climb over the ivied wall into the property. Octavia discovers him, and that develops into a nice part of the movie. She is very sheltered, and never even ventured beyond the front gate of the estate. Teddy bears are her friends. However, around the 50 minute mark, there is an abrupt change that leaves too many unanswered questions. It is not that it is terrible, it is that it leaves too many questions for which there are no answers. It is almost like a second movie. And many viewers are likely to wonder at the abrupt change, but I don't want to give spoilers. If it had been handled with a bit more explanation, the movie would have gotten a higher rating from me.
