Synopsis
Three men and three women move into a specially constructed house where they periodically meet in a 'dating room'. The catch is, and the more astute amongst you may have gleaned this from the title, is that the dating room is pitch black. The participants cannot see a thing, but the audience can see everything thanks to night-vision cameras. Over a series of meetings, the participants are given the opportunity to determine who their ideal partner is through various non-visual methods such as speech, smell, and compatibility tests. After this, each participant works with a sketch artist to create a drawing of his or her chosen partner, which is then passed to the person in question. At the end of the session, each participant returns to the dating room together with their chosen partner, and the light is turned on for 15 seconds. After this, each of them must decide whether they will go on a proper date with their chosen partner by going to the library, or whether they will leave the house and stand them up.
