A brilliant mathematics student at France's top university the Ecole Normale Supérieure. On the day of her thesis presentation, a mistake shakes up all the certainty in her planned-out life, she decides to quit everything and start afresh.

Marguerite, a lone star in the mathematical ether of the ENS, lives and breathes equations. But a tremor shook her world, a flaw in the very theorem she'd poured her soul into. Confused, she left the ENS, severing ties with the life she knew. Stepping into the vibrant unknown, she found solace in the whirlwind of the real world. She then dives into the real world, discovers autonomy and the game Mahjong, befriends the young Léa, and makes love for the first time. Grown by her experiences, it is in this new energy that she is trying to find a correct proof of her theorem.—Frank Liesenborgs
