On vacation in Paris at his Aunt Mag's, sixteen-year-old Jules, a would-be globetrotting reporter, finds himself in the blink of an eye in... Baghdad! At the Hotel Palestine, he discovers the daily routines of journalists, between articles and live broadcast. Outside, there's what he's seen so often on TV: thanks, armed men, Americans... He also meets Bilal, a young Iraqi. And when Jules finds out his new friend just got kidnapped, he's ready to help him out at any cost.
A journalistic style, facsimiles of professional documents, and a photo file: a fascinating glimpse into the world and trade of international journalism.
