A Strange and Beautiful Sound

Life's choices and what remains in the end are universal themes. Where is life's value? In the noise and fury, or in the silence and contemplation? In the struggles, or in the peace?

William chose silence 25 years ago by joining the Carthusian religious order. When an inheritance forces him to leave the monastery for Paris, he must master a whole new world and question certainties forged long ago. He meets Mery, a young woman whose days are numbered due to an incurable illness and who is resolutely decided on making the most of the time she has left. This, in turn, will force William to face new questions and complicate his choices in a powerfull story that truly addresses the meaning of life.
