Au rendez vous des insomniaques

Five men and women from all walks of life who have only one thing in common: insomnia. An inventive and tightly-woven intrigue, likable characters and a confident pen, this is the story of five people whose nights are nothing but a long wait in the dark... It is also a reflection on how society treats those who cannot conform to its "normal" rhythms. Claire fears the immensity of silence in the countryside where she lives, her husband's snoring and a young boy who is not her own. Jacques is a psychiatrist near the end of his career whose nighttime solitude, interrupted only by sporadic anonymous phone calls. Michele is a gentle retiree with a dark secret that urges her to leave her bed every night to go to church. Lena is a young Goth who occupies her early mornings by helping out in a nearby café. Hervé is a shy and nervous accountant who anxiously awaits his professional emails in the darkness. They all suffer from chronic insomnia that is gradually excluding them from normal daytime activities. They attend regular meetings hosted by sleep specialist Marie-Hélène who is determined to help them. Confessions are made and friendships are formed but will this therapy finally help them all sleep?
