Marie, 12 years old, good student and promising cellist has a secret : she has a degenerative eye disease. Even though she still sees enough to live more or less normally, she knows that one day she will have to live in the dark. Her parents know this, of course, and they are terribly worried about their daughter’s future. Recently, although Mary has not told them, they feel that their daughter’s condition is deteriorating, so much so that in the middle of the school year, they tell her that they are thinking of sending her to an institute for blind children right away. Marie’s goal is to take the entrance exam to a prestigious music school at the end of the school year.
Integrating this institute for the blind would ruin this project. As a result, Marie decides to hide – from her parents and the school – the sudden acceleration of her illness. Of course, she knows she can’t do it alone. Having noticed the discreet interest that Victor, the dunce of the class, has for her, she decides, under the pretext of helping him with his homework, to use him. Little by little, at first without his knowledge, then in complete complicity, Victor becomes the eyes of Mary
