A cerebral, melancholic drama about a brilliant mathematician whose carefully constructed identity unravels when a critical error undermines her life's work and self-certainty.

The future of Marguerite, a brilliant student in Mathematics at the prestigious Ecole Normale Supérieure, seems all planned out. The only woman from her year, Marguerite is finishing a thesis she has to present to an audience of researchers. On the big day, a mistake shakes all her certainties and all her foundations collapse.
