A Cambodian woman, suffering from psychosomatic blindness, a condition afflicting a segment of middle-aged Cambodian women refugees in California who witnessed atrocities of the Khmer Rouge, reunites with her surviving relatives in the U.S. With her American doctor she begins the painful journey towards healing and finds a surprising role in her new home.

Eyes of the Heart is an at once heartbreaking and heartwarming evening.

Jenny Sandman - Curtain Up

Eyes of the Heart achieves the admirable, and sometimes improbable task of presenting a devastating condition in a most elegant and poetic way.

Jack Ong

Eyes of the Heart is a beautiful look at a number of difficult subjects.
