Featherweight French romantic comedy in which a Greek musician (Bastien Bouillon) falls for a pretty blind woman (Mélanie Bernier) after first insulting her. Captivated, he pretends to be blind himself to win her over. The usual rom-com reversal and resolution follows. A subplot about the attempt of the musician and his brother (Antonin Fresson) to find work in Paris and a parallel storyline about the brother's romance with the blind woman's cocaine-addicted sister (Chloé Astor) feel like padding to get the film to feature length.
