Joel and Krystel had everything it seems necessary to live properly: a house, a family, a job. However, they wanted to change their lives: “I didn’t see myself doing the same job until 65.” Their common desire is expressed around the vine: to sell wine? No, sell THEIR wine, a quality and organic wine. They want to create something that did not exist before, that looks like them and of which they can be proud. Above all, they want to be free. This film is an immersion in the life of Joël and Krystel. We are getting on a train that is rushing towards the future. The camera accompanies them and bonds with them. Changing jobs means changing lives and it is not a simple snap of the fingers. It is a long journey in which there are many obstacles. Joël and Krystel’s project involves awakening unsuspected forces, demonstrating an unceasingly renewed energy. This energy crosses the film and testifies on the field of possibilities. The world belongs to the adventurers and Joel and Krystel have become the adventurers of their own lives.
