In 1960, her revolutionary debut novel, The Country Girls, broke down social and sexual barriers for women and was subsequently banned in her native country of Ireland.

In this honest and engaging documentary, Edna O’Brien reflects on her remarkable and ongoing writing life, interwoven with actors who perform extracts from her novels and rare family archive footage.

November 9, 1989, the day the Wall came down, was one of those days when it became clear that the world had changed "immediately and without delay" once and for all. [...] But it was not only politics and the lives of many people that changed with the world, but also the way we think. And more permanently than one might think. For a long time after that evening, there were calls for a major, analytical reappraisal of what had happened. After all the talk about bananas, the German feature pages hoped for "the great German novel of the turnaround". The fact that this has not appeared in the last 30 years has to do with the fact that thinking and art have changed forever along with the world.

Twelve-year-old Frida is almost blind; she can only make out contours, shadows and colors. At the same time, she can "see" much more than other people. She believes that with the energy we all have within us, we can achieve things that we thought were impossible. In Dear Darkness, we see how she puts this into practice. Frida is lovingly encouraged by her parents, whom we see in the background as they invite her to experience a sculpture or go swimming with her. Frida has an entirely unique view of the world, from which she occasionally takes a distance so she can listen, feel and think. To do so she seeks out complete darkness, because only if there are no visual stimuli can she find peace. In this way, she hardly differs from her sighted peers-and this is why part of the film takes place in the dark.
