At twenty, one dreams of freedom and wide-open spaces, especially when reality feels suffocating. Christophe lives in the Parisian suburbs, in the anonymity of a soulless housing project where the future always seems to be elsewhere. Unemployed and living with his bitter mother, he clings to one idea: to leave. To go far away with the hope of starting over and finally breathing. Alongside his girlfriend Chloé, who also carries the weight of a painful youth, he envisions a new life on the other side of the world. But leaving everything behind is not easy; before turning the page, some scores must be settled. This powerful and intimate novel explores hope, broken youth, and the quiet violence that arises when doors remain closed.
