His suspicions soon fall on a blind man (Wilson) whose handicap quickly turns out to be an asset. Thus begins a race against time and a duel-to-the-death between two equally enigmatic men.

Produced by EuropaCorp (which will also handle French distribution and international sales), Blind Man is co-produced by France 2 Cinéma and has been pre-bought by Orange Cinéma Séries. The project has also been financed in partnership with the website Weareproducteurs.com which enables Internet users to contribute to the different stages in the film’s production.
