This short story travels with us through daily life and the emergence without warning of trauma. How to reclaim oneself, one's life?
Ce court récit nous suit le long de la journée, avec l'émergence du traumatisme qui surgit sans avertissement. Comment se retrouver, reprendre le fil de sa propre vie?
