Toi t'es-tu lucky? (And You, Are You Lucky?)
A film by Robert Morin and Lorraine Dufour
Synopsis
Documentary, video, colour, 25 mins., 1984, Québec, Canada, OFV with English subtitles
It is the 25th wedding anniversary for a dwarf couple. Among their guests, their son, Pierre, is feeling out of sorts. Also a dwarf, he condemns his parents for conceiving him, knowing the risks they were taking of having a child with the same disease. At 24, Pierre drags his handicap into his relationships. So-called "normal" girls want nothing to do with him, and his criticisms of his parents prevent him from approaching girls who are like him.
