Synopsis:

A young French runner who has recently become blind has to put his trust in a distaff coach with a dark past in "The Straight Line." More famous for such lavishly mounted and intricately plotted productions as "East/West" and "Indochine," Gallic scribe-helmer Regis Wargnier here delivers a straightforward and intimate two-hander that uses sports as a somewhat shopworn but nonetheless effective metaphor for overcoming hardship, in this case for both leads. Local March release opened to OK results and will run a few laps around the fest circuit and at Francophone film events.

Two persons, a blind man and an ex-prisoner woman have their destiny crossed by sport. One will help the other to run. They will meanwhile assist each other to rebuild their life.
