EMBRASSER LE CHAOS

A ROAD TRIP THROUGH ICELAND FOLLOWING THE WORDS OF A BELOVED MISSING BROTHER

Malorie has just lost her beloved big brother, Arnaud, in a stupid accident. While she's clearing out the apartment her brother shared with a roommate, Malorie comes across the travel journal he kept during a solo trip to Iceland. Compelled by Arnaud's words, she decides to follow in his footsteps. Is this Malorie's way of paying tribute to her late brother, or an attempt to somehow bring him back to life? It doesn't matter. Maybe this road trip is just what she needs to come to terms with his departure and to understand why he distanced himself from the family. Snowstorms are not the only thing Malorie must grapple with as she travels in the land of winter, finding herself with no choice but to face the storms raging inside herself as well.
