À l’est, la vallée a vingt ans d’avance. À l’ouest, elle en a vingt de retard. Dans une séquence temporelle infinie à travers la nature sauvage, les villes se répètent ainsi. S’il est interdit de voyager de l’une à l’autre, des exceptions existent. Et Odile, seize ans, brigue justement un siège au Conseil, l’institution chargée de déterminer qui peut franchir les frontières de sa vallée. Un jour, lors d’une balade, la jeune femme reconnaît deux visiteurs du futur et comprend rapidement que...

Odile ha sedici anni quando si trova a scegliere tra sé stessa e l'amore per Edme. Vivono entrambi in una città dall'incanto obliquo, immersa in una valle boscosa, perfetta nella sua immobilità. A est, però, oltre le montagne, una valle identica ospita la stessa città, ma vent'anni nel futuro. A ovest, un'altra ancora, vent'anni nel passato. E così all'infinito, in entrambe le direzioni. È in questo mondo dal tempo maledetto e magico che i due ragazzi imparano a conoscersi, fino a quando O...

Was wäre, wenn Odile das ihr auferlegte Schweigen bricht? Ein bewegendes und außergewöhnliches Debüt über Freiheit und die Macht des Schicksals....

Odile, de dezasseis anos, é uma rapariga tímida e tranquila que concorre a um lugar cobiçado no Conselho.

As cidades repetem-se numa sequência interminável através do deserto.Quando Odile reconhece dois visitantes, os quais não era...
