"After his hit Arab Jazz, Karim Miské is back with more powerful, cinematic, and clear-sighted writing and a socio-political utopia that opens our eyes."

Civil war has spread through Paris and its suburbs. Since February 6, 2030, 60-year-old screenwriter Kamel Kassim has avoided the outside world... until one day, an attack blows up his daily routine and chance places one of the assailants in his hands. Forced to wage war by his family, this man longs for another life: he is secretly married to a Muslim woman. Kamel goes on the run with him, to find his wife and a place of safety. But to do so is to confront the "Situation," to dive into the darkness of a fractured political landscape. To seek to understand all the factors at play, as sinister as they may be.
