Why model the future of the world when our own lives are slipping through our fingers? An honest and upstanding Brussels official gets lost in the time window of his business trip to Asia. His personal life is empty, his work life is absurd, yet he sets out determinedly to uncover the circumstances of the crooked contracts. But everything turns against him, he loses even in the most trivial matters - getting to the hotel at night, connecting to the internet, calling home, finding a moment of peace in the toilet. Jean-Philippe Toussaint guides us through all this mysterious, Kafkaesque discomfort, just so that we can come with him to what is most essential between life and death.
