Aunque apenas tienen nueve años, los hermanos deben aprender a vivir con las limitaciones del uno y la tristeza del otro. En ese proceso, difícil y marcado por los prejuicios, descubren que existen otras formas de ver, de disfrutar de la vida y de gozar de los juegos y las virtudes de la infancia. El braille del arcoíris es una bella historia que habla de la esperanza, la familia, la unión fraternal, los amigos, la fortaleza ante la adversidad y el poder sin límites de la imaginación y el amor.

Although they are barely nine years old, the brothers must learn to live with the limitations of one and the sadness of the other. In this process, difficult and marked by prejudice, they discover that there are other ways of seeing, enjoying life and enjoying the games and virtues of childhood.
