An artist can be a prisoner of appearances… especially of women’s appearances. And so the painter Sergi Vélazquez falls for a flaming redhead he meets in an elevator. He’s crazy about her body; she’s just plain crazy: hysterical and neurotic. At least that’s what Julia, the artist’s psychiatrist sister, thinks. But is that anything to worry about?

Roxanne is a photographer. A few years ago, half of her face was burned in a car accident. Now, she takes comfort in nature, with no one around. Until she takes pictures of her new body in order to reclaim it… and the prints, shown in a Parisian gallery, attract Sergi.

With these two tales of love at first sight… twice, Olivier Bordaçarre renews the novelistic theme of doubles. And offers us, at the same time, a generous family saga and a surprisingly suspenseful story.
