Marie and the Misfits
by Sébastien Betbeder
►Synopsis
An alternative love triangle swinging between fiction and literature.
Marie is an alluring young woman who lacks self confidence. When she leaves Antoine – a melancholic writer, she meets with Simeon, a jobless journalist. Yet she prefers to let fate decide for her future.
Antoine and Simeon become obsessed by an elusive Marie.
This is a story of desperate souls between Paris and an island in Brittany.
It’s also a story about a story being written.
