One summer, in Cadaques, a couple of photographers meet someone that will change their lives forever. Marc and Thèrése Lacroix meet Salvador and Gala Dalí.

This documentary shows through Thèrése Lacroix’s testimony these historical figures, and the myths that surrounds them, making Dalí a little bit more human and less crazy.
