Wildlives

Around a mythical lake, in the heart of an unspoiled forest, deer, squirrels, insects and chanterelles are the real characters of a story about life slipping away and the impermanence of all possession. The human characters have taken refuge in the celebration of this beauty and are caught up in turmoil despite themselves: Lila Szach, from another age and another continent, who owns almost the whole territory and fiercely defends it against predators; Claire, who writes film scripts that spill over into reality; Simon, determined to love and heal every living thing; little Jérémie, over whom threats hang; and Violette, who is fleeing the ultimate horror.
