Description
Florence a un problème aux poumons, mais enseigne la natation ; pour elle, c’est toujours comme si elle respirait dans une paille. Léon a un problème aux yeux et est agent d’assurance ; pour lui, c’est toujours comme s’il regardait par le trou d’une paille. Leur rencontre chamboulera leurs vies. Et si les différences pouvaient devenir une force — Et si l’amour pouvait naître au bout d’une paille “
