A father and his daughter live in the Montreal of the left-behind, each trying to reach some kind of freedom in their own way, in spite of the murky past that ties them together. The daughter, who narrates, walks to the city's southern edge and watches lonely people in front of televisions showing a far-off war, convinced that what she and her father build keeps collapsing. A short novel about urban distress and people who feel exiled in their own country.
