ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

"A powerfully authentic voice." - The Independent
"The rain continued to beat against the window, constant and gray, hidden inside itself like a snail in its shell. In your clothes, I sensed your elusive presence, your escaping spirit."
Building on nineteen photographs in New York, the author tells the story of Lola, a girl whose mother left her at the age of eight to pursue an acting career in the Big Apple. Scarred by her early experience of abandonment, Lola lives an emotionally empty and neurotic life. Everything changes when she gets a call from a stranger reporting that her mother has disappeared. Suddenly, she finds herself in the position of tracking down woman she barely knows. Her quest leads her deep inside herself and the essence of what it means to be human, on a journey where nothing is as it seems.
