Could a lasting relationship be the greatest adventure of modern times?
Alice and Jules have lived together for sixty years.
In a literary tour de force, Eliette Abécassis traces the course of their love affair, step by step, to reveal its nuances, dreams, desires, betrayals and regrets. Old age, routine, reunion, falling out of love, hatred, jealousy, children, marriage, passion: the film unfolds in reverse, through a series of twists and turns, passing from the age of social networks to the fall of the Berlin Wall, May 68, the Algerian war…
This is a novel of enduring love, against all odds: a remedy for the cynicism and loneliness of our times.
