PERSEIDS
Julie had her left eye removed. Soon, she will also lose her right eye. She doesn't know when it will happen, but it is imminent. All she can do is enjoy the images that still surround her. She leaves Montreal for a weekend with her good friend, Marina, in the countryside. In the calm of nature alongside her faithful friend, Julie takes the opportunity to see the stars one last time.
