"What Does Orange Look Like" tells the intricate story of the relationship between a young man who lost his mother as a child and a painter losing the gift of sight. The boy breaks into the painter's apartment certain that the painter's last work – which he's unable to finish – is a painting of his late mother. The painter claims that he never met his mother; that the painting is purely the product of his imagination.
