Behind the camera

The Blind of the Cathedral poster
NR

In front of a cathedral, fate led to Hala and Bachir's meeting. At first sight, they share nothing in common: she is a 15-year-old student, she is Muslim and she sees. Whereas Bachir is 27, he plays the lute, he is Christian and blind.

Hala and Bachir will go through an adventure that will empower their innocent love. But a dark fate awaits them.
