Synopsis

Serge was born visually-impaired. It did not stop him from racing cars or master the art of barbecue. Josée has lost sight. It did not stop her from raising two children and growing the best lebanese cucumber in town. Under the summer sun, the couple talks about love, freedom, and grilled chicken skewers.
