As a child‚ Hélène wanted to be an artist. After studying languages and literature‚ Hélène Delforge becomes a teacher‚ a journalist‚ a writer. Her computer contains over a thousand pictures of her children‚ her stepchildren‚ and her sweetheart‚ and is crammed full of articles. And then there are the secret files… those stories never good enough‚ screenplays hidden to all‚ letters all but forgotten once typed on her keyboard.
