A touching, lyrical, kind comedy, telling about the poor tramp's love for a simple blind flower girl, with whom he is struggling to help get money for the treatment of her sick eyes, falling into the most ridiculous situations due to his awkwardness, good nature, and gullibility . The love of these two heroes is shown as their spiritual kinship: the characters find a common language, despite the fact that the girl does not see it, and he does his best to hide his poverty from her. The film is interesting with an original idea: a blind flower girl endows her benefactor with the features of a prominent, handsome man, however, gaining eyesight and seeing a poor, nondescript Tramp, she no longer loves so much as pity.
The most beautiful love films were often made with an emphasis on the era in which the characters live, which gave their feelings more drama and authenticity.
