Catherine tries to toughen herself to impress the “princes” in her circle, who turn out to be more off-putting than charming. When all her dubious strategies fail, she must face the ultimate test: learning how to embrace her true nature. In Ultra Strong, a candid and self-deprecating autofictional story by Catherine Lepage, we’re invited to reexamine our youthful ideals—from Cinderella to Iron Maiden.
