Synopsis:

The Hartings are blind. The father, Denis, has a passion for music, the mother, Peggy, dreams of a new life; and Lauviah, the daughter, navigates between the childhood gap and adulthood. The three sing in the Montreal subway, and all are tormented by the absence of the son who died tragically a few years ago: Hassan. But they are filled with hope and courage when they listen to the mystical Russian teachings of the resurrection.
