About
Created by Dargon Lortie-Chartrand and Sébastien Cimpaye | Produced by Dargon et Sébastien | Origin: Ottawa/Gatineau
(This show is in French with English captions.) Some friendships hang on by a thread. Some friendships end before they begin. But when a tandem lasts…. When a duo withstands the tyranny of time… How can one be sure that their friendship is sincere? Are they linked by shared experiences…or are they linked by habit?
