- Six Points About Emma (Seis Puntos sobre Emma)
- Roberto Pérez Toledo, Spain, 2012. In Spanish with English subtitles.
- Emma is blind but she believes she can see everything very clearly; she wants to become a mother. She yearns it obsessively. After finding out her boyfriend is not able to get her pregnant, she breaks up with him and goes on a search for the perfect sperm, without falling in love or getting emotionally involved. Sounds simple enough but soon she will find out that her blindness affects more than just her sight.
