Anne-Sophie Liban

2029. Paris. Reading is forbidden by law. The internet has been censured. On the main floor, a man is arrested. In the basement, life continues: learning books. Freedom persists.

Following a long prison term, 30 year-old Céline must find a place in society. Hiding her past, she introduces herself with a new identity to get work for a trial period in a hotel. Céline finds herself endlessly walking a tightrope between truth and fiction. When she meets Idir, despite the threat of being unmasked, Céline falls in love and finds herself a prisoner to her own lies. But how can one live without taking risks?
