A new story begins, a love that no longer seeks an ideal, and accepts life with its scars... to invent happiness, with delicacy.
★ Avignon success ★
A rare text, light and spiritual, deeply human. A caress, a whisper, an almost invisible notice, to learn to live. At the beginning... it is an "obvious" love story: Nathalie and François are happy, they love each other. They have their whole lives ahead of them. But one day, François dies suddenly in an accident. Just as one loses oneself after a tragedy, a long journey through the desert follows for Nathalie. Her heart becomes a fortress, her life a soulless routine. She has to learn to live again, almost in spite of herself. In the end... it's an unlikely encounter with Markus, a simple, delicate man who is far from the standard of beauty.
