Stanislas Graff, a powerful industrialist, is kidnapped one morning from in front of his building by a commando of gangsters. So begins a nightmare that will last several weeks. Humiliated, abused, treated inhumanely, he resists, allowing his kidnappers no hold over him. He accepts everything without rebelling or any kind of cry or complaint; he responds with dignity to barbarity. Cut off from the world, receiving only snippets of news from his jailers, Graff can’t understand why no one will pay the ransom that would free him. Outside, his world slowly collapses when his true nature is revealed. Everything that he’d managed to keep private, his secret garden, is revealed to his family by the police investigation or press coverage. Everyone discovers a man who is far from being the one that they imagined.

Oscar, a ten-year-old boy, is staying at a children’s hospital. Neither the doctors nor his parents dare to tell him the truth about his illness. Only Rose, a woman with a grumpy attitude, who comes to deliver pizzas, communicates with him in a straightforward way. To distract him, Rose suggests that Oscar play a game: From now on, he should behave as though each day were the equivalent of ten years. She thus offers him an entire life in a few days. So that he’ll open up even more, she suggests that he should also write to God. In his letters, Oscar talks about his suffering, worries, joys, falling in love for the first time, time passing by… A singular friendship develops between Oscar and Rose. Both have no idea how this closeness will affect their future lives.

Grégoire Canvel has everything going for him. A wife whom he loves, three delightful children, a job that excites him. He’s a film producer. Discovering filmmakers, accompanying films that correspond to his idea of cinema, open and free and close up to life – that’s his reason for living. His vocation. Grégoire finds total fulfillment in his work, to which he dedicates almost all his time and energy. Hyperactive, he never stops, except for weekends, which he spends with his family in the countryside. These interludes are as precious as they are fragile. Grégoire’s confident bearing and charm have won him admirers everywhere. He seems invincible. And yet, his prestigious production company, Moon Films, is unstable. Too many films produced, too many risks taken, too many debts. The dangers become clearer. But Grégoire continues to keep moving forward, no matter the cost. Just where will this headlong rush lead him? One day, he’s obliged to face up to reality. A word hovers: failure. And a deep lassitude, which will soon, secretly, turn into desperation.

Your only daughter is madly in love with an absolute fool, your sister has just got engaged to a stupid lout? Your best friend is going out with a jerk? There is still one man left who can save the day. His name: Alex Lippi. His profession: homewrecker. His method: seduction!
In a few weeks, for a fee equivalent to his reputation, Alex promises to transform any husband, fiancé or boyfriend into an ex. Hideouts, phone-tapping, fake identities, devastating smile, anything goes when it comes to fulfilling his contract. But be warned, Alex has ethics. He only breaks up couples when the woman is unhappy. So why does he accept this new contract?
His target is called Juliette, a young free-spirited and independent heiress. In ten days she’ll marry an attractive young man whom she loves more than anything else in the world. Ten days for a hectic “mission impossible” of seduction, during which our high-flying heartbreaker risks discovering to his own cost that, when it comes to love, the perfect plan doesn’t exist.

Paris, 1817, within the Académie Royale de Médecine. “I’ve never seen a human head that so closely resembles a monkey’s.” Anatomist Georges Cuvier is categorical when looking at the cast made of Saartjie Baartman’s body. A panel of distinguished colleagues applauds the demonstration. Seven years earlier, Saartjie left South Africa with her master Caezar and was exhibited to the London public in carnival freakshows. A free and fettered woman, she was the icon of the lower depths, the “Hottentot Venus” promised the mirage of a glittering rise in the world…
