Les Signaux faibles

How does a brutal, hazy or incomplete childhood suddenly resonate with contemporary violence?
What forces vie for the heart of a young, lonely person, plagued by doubt, fear, rage, sadness or a failure to understand the world?
How can melancholy and beauty engage with the mystery and darkness within them?

Through the fate of a tormented young man in post-war Japan, Simon Mauclair explores this sensitive figure, caught up in the mysteries of coming of age, at the crossroads of his personal history and our shared history, and the contemporary manifestations of evil that lurk within it.

A pivotal point of fragility, from which dizzying visions of beauty and nothingness arise.
