Mille secrets, mille dangers
Alain is marrying Virginie. The day will be grand, the day will be perfect, and Alain’s Lebanese aunts will talk about this wedding for years to come. But Alain has a stomachache. A quiet anger is rumbling inside him. He dreads seeing his parents again—their tumultuous divorce left deep marks on his childhood. He fears the return of his anxiety attacks, and he fears falling back into the medication dependence he’s only just escaped. His cousin Édouard, more like a brother to him, has promised the newlyweds a parade in a convertible Mustang. Except on the wedding day, Édouard has his mind elsewhere.
