At the age of 17, a young woman abruptly stopped feeling. Despite a long stay in a psychiatric hospital, no remedy could alleviate her unhappiness. Many years later, now in a relationship, a mother of two, and settled into a stable life that anchored her and gave her a sense of security, she began to feel increasingly stifled. Something rose within her like a raging current. She led a life of lies until everything collapsed, bringing an end to the carefully constructed relationship. She was then forced to confront the fragility of her solitude.
In the vein of Deborah Levy and Lionel Duroy, Tiphaine Le Gall reflects on the price of freedom. Her memories, doubts, and hopes lead us to question our own contradictions and hidden fears.
