Chasse à l’homme

There was always the idea that the next lover would bring the next book. In 2008, a young Quebec writer consults a fortune teller who predicts that, thanks to a book, she will meet the man of her life, but first she must move to Paris, fall for a little Frenchman and go to Asia. Taking the artist Sophie Calle as her only model, she follows chance, approaches strangers in libraries and turns the man of her dreams into a character. Told as a necklace of fragments, the true story of the lucky coincidences of this six-year quest becomes a reflection on love, desire and the wish to become a writer.
