Romans Contemporains Ne parle pas aux inconnus

« Don't talk to strangers ', this is advice Camille has heard over and over again since she was a child. But now, her deepest desire is to leave for somewhere else, anywhere else but here on the couch in front of the TV that threatens to swallow her up like it swallowed up her mother. Standing at the window on tiptoe, Camille searches for a way out, beyond the factories with their smoking stacks, beyond the Rhine River, to the place where, maybe, Eva is hiding. Ever since her Polish girlfriend, Eva, has disappeared, Camille is plagued by nausea. Her head spins as she tries to maintain her balance, one foot in childhood, the other in adulthood, and no one to hold your hand. Teetering on the edge of emptiness, Camille makes the life-altering decision to leave, and, thumb in the air, she takes to the road towards the East where Eva, this stranger who she was forbidden to kiss, must reside. Through Germany, Serbia, Romania and Hungary she dominates her fears and opens up to the very strangers her parents wanted her to avoid. They will all help her in different ways to find what she wasn't looking for: herself.
