Adapted from Jean-Christophe Réhel's novel, Ce qu'on respire sur Tatouine follows Christophe, a young poet with cystic fibrosis, whose humor, intelligence, and candor lead him down a strange path strewn with obstacles and laughter, resounding failures and moving encounters; a host of colorful characters accompany him on his inner odyssey. From Repentigny to Tatooine, by way of the CHUM (Centre hospitalier de l'Université de Montréal), the Super C (a supermarket), and New York, Christophe rarely makes the right choices, doesn't really take care of himself, but struggles as best he can to find his way between money and inspiration, between illness and pleasure, between love and death.
