The inspiring story of a family’s epic adventure around the world, sparked by life-changing news.

When three of their four children are diagnosed with a rare and incurable eye disease that leads to severe visual impairment, the Pelletier family’s world changes forever. In the face of this life-altering news, Edith Lemay, Sébastien Pelletier and their children set out on a year-long trip around the world to experience all its beauty while they still can. As they fill their memories with breathtaking destinations and once-in-a-lifetime encounters, the family’s love, resilience and unshakeable sense of wonder ensure that their uncertain future does not define their present.

Made by the Oscar-winning team behind “Navalny”, “Blink (of an eye)” is a life affirming film full of spirit, humour and pure joy.
