Based on a true story.

Right after the publication of the novel "The Life Before Us" under the pseudonym Émile Ajar, Romain Gary had his literary double played by his cousin Paul Pavlowitch. Everyone falls for it: the press, the publishers as well as the readers. Well, almost everyone: Adèle, a literature student at the Sorbonne, is convinced that Émile Ajar and Romain Gary are the same writer.

She goes to see Romain Gary at his home to confront him. Will she give him up? Or will the storyteller succeed in drawing her into his tale?
