Interesting premise and great easily readable content. A philosopher and father (Jean-Francois) and his scientist-turned-buddhist son (Matthieu) discuss and challenge each other about religion, art, life, science etc. , i.e. virtually everything. Great insights into Buddhism and some frequent Western misunderstandings. Jean-Francois's pontificating can be a little tiring, but overall very informative.
