Alex has just met the luminous Raphaëlle when he gets summoned to spend ten days with his mother on the other side of the country. Annoyed, he sets off, champing at the bit to come back. None of this, however, seems to have crimped Raphaëlle style — she’s having fun and not too worried that her new friend feels so tortured. Nor will their reunion be as warm as Alex hoped.

Powerfully, uncompromisingly, André Marois plumbs the depths of human flaws, our dark side, our delicate we can be, and how fragile the border between love and hatred.
