The narrator, who has been experiencing vision problems, decides to try an unorthodox method to restore their vision: wearing a blindfold for 100 days to give their eyes a complete rest. They enlist the help of a friend, Vasya, who assists them with daily tasks and keeps them company. During this time, the narrator and Vasya have various adventures, including a trip to the cinema, playing games, and hosting a party.
