Popular French writer Tonino Benaquista ("Saga", "Hunting the Hare" and "Three Red Squares on a Black Background") introduces us in this book to the nightlife of Paris, closed to prying eyes. Social satire with curious sketches of morals “on the other side of the day” is dashingly twisted into a criminal adventure with a dynamic and unpredictable development of the plot, political cultural reminiscences - from Dracula and Freud to the American mafia. The main characters of the novel are Antoine and Bertrand - young Parisian unemployed people who have chosen the path “professional party-goers and freeloaders.” Impressions, brilliance, involvement in success - all this is available with a nocturnal lifestyle. But the night is a special dimension, a parallel world in which other people live. And sometimes, when morning comes, nightmares turn into daytime reality... The French press called the novel an anti-yuppie manifesto of the 90s. The novel was filmed in 2001, dir. Antoine de Caunes, in chap. Starring: Guillaume Canet, Gerard Lanvin, Asia Argento.
