Only the Eyes Say Yes

Written in two parts, the first by Philippe using the "magic camera" to tell his story, the second by Stéphane detailing herexperiences--the frustrations and challenges she has faced and the ultimate triumphs--this moving portrait of a remarkable relationship shows how love and devotion can overcome almost anything. In no way maudlin or sentimental, Only the Eyes Say Yesdoes not flinch from the difficulties and setbacks the family underwent during Philippe’s long fight. Despite all the hardships and obstacles, however, they have kept their love not only alive but stronger than ever. Once focused, perhaps too solidly, on their careers, the two were forced by Philippe’s "accident" to reevaluate their priorities, to rededicate themselves to their family and to each other. The couple even conceived a child after Philippe became paralyzed, welcoming joy into their lives when it might well have seemed most elusive to others in their situation. At a time when keeping any marriage together seems an ever daunting proposition, this tale of an extraordinary marriage and partnership stands as a truly radiant love story.
