Description

Juliette takes the metro every day at the same time. Line 6, the elevated metro. What she loves above all is to observe those around her who are reading. The old lady, the rare edition collector, the math student, the young girl crying on page 247. She watches them with curiosity and tenderness, as if their readings, their passions, the diversity of their lives could bring color to her own, so monotonous, so predictable. Until the day Juliette decides to get off two stations before her usual stop, and go to work by taking a different street; a step aside that will change her whole life.
