Julia Lepère, La mer et son double , Éditions du sous-sol, 2026
Off the coast of what could be the United States, a woman mysteriously emerges in a strange place to film its contours. The town of P., a sort of western city where aimlessness and torpor are caused by a fearsome heat, is populated by unusual characters: a bar owner, a young girl who plays with ghosts, a poet, a sculptor, a pianist. The sea arouses mistrust, and the settlers fiercely guard their borders against the Exiles.
Elsewhere, in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, a shipwrecked woman who has lost her memory is rescued by a cargo ship three days after the tragic disappearance of one of the crew members, on a stormy night.
