Étienne Davodeau is a comic book author; he does not know much about the world of wine. Richard Leroy is a winemaker; he has hardly ever read a comic book. But these two are full of goodwill and curiosity. Why does one choose to devote one's life to writing and drawing books or to producing wine? How and for whom are they made? For more than a year, in order to answer these questions, Étienne went to work in Richard's vineyards and cellar, while Richard, in return, immersed himself in the world of comic books. They opened numerous bottles and read quite a few books. They travelled around, meeting authors and winemakers passionate about their profession. Étienne Davodeau makes the wager that there are as many ways to make a book as there are to produce wine. He observes that both have this necessary and precious power to bring human beings closer together. The Ignorants offers you the joyful story of a shared initiation.
