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 appears in a strange place to film its contours. The town of P., a western-style city where wandering and torpor are caused by dreadful heat, is populated by singular characters: a female bar owner, a young girl who plays with ghosts, a poet, a sculptor, a pianist. The sea arouses suspicion; settlers fiercely guard their borders against the Exiles.

Elsewhere, in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, a shipwrecked woman who 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.
