Only The Winds is a Lebanese documentary that follows filmmaker Karim as he travels from New York to Beirut to research a film he hopes to make about blind children in the Lebanese mountains. Shortly after arriving, a pre-existing eye condition requires immediate surgery, temporarily leaving him sightless beneath a pair of patches. During his recovery, Karim turns inward — reflecting, writing, and spending rare time with his family — before venturing to the institute for the blind that inspired his project. There, he attempts to cast someone to play a version of himself on screen, a process that quickly unravels in unexpected ways. A quietly compelling portrait of a filmmaker caught between his vision and his vulnerability, Only The Winds probes the relationship between blindness, sight, and the art of cinema itself.
