About the book: 2024 / Successful top manager Antoine, nurse Claire and successful film director Paul, who broke off relations with his relatives many years ago, come to their childhood home for a funeral father. Three days in the parents' house - three acts of family drama. The meeting is accompanied by stormy explanations. All three take turns telling the story in the first person, remembering – in different ways – their common past, exchanging quotes and memes from their favorite films and songs, quarreling, making peace, and confessing to old sins. Paul finds himself caught in the crossfire of reproaches: he draws the plots of his films from family history, inflicting deep wounds on his loved ones. In clashes, hidden grievances spill out, everyone’s life and love are subject to revision. Olivier Adam is a popular novelist, screenwriter and playwright, winner of prestigious awards, including the Goncourt Prize for his short story. Many of his books have been filmed. “Under the Roses” is the first publication of the famous French author in Russian.
