Sous-sol
Martine PouchainAs a result of a planetary catastrophe, almost all life on Earth has been exterminated. On the edge of the village, a family took refuge in the basement of their old house, where they now live. There is the father, an inflexible and pious man; the mother, patient and submissive; and the two girls, Leslie and Amy, who have almost no memory of the color of the sky. Accustomed to this confined existence, they learn the basics of school from their parents and dream of charming princes. And the day they can go out. The father is the only one who ventures outside – with a mask – to cultivate vegetables in the greenhouse. As soon as the world Above becomes livable again, we will go back up, he promises. However, as the girls grow up, doubt sets in. Will this long-awaited day arrive?
