Brief synopsis

Alain, a successful Parisian publisher, and Léonard, one of his long-time authors, are reluctant to fully embrace today’s world of modern digital practices. When they meet to discuss about Léonard’s new manuscript – yet another work of auto-fiction recycling his love affair with a minor celebrity — Alain must tell his friend that it is too outdated to be published, even though, Selena, Alain’s wife, is convinced it is Léonard’s masterpiece.
