Summary
"Les gens ne comprennent pas. Ils pensent que j’exagère. Mais en fait, je cherche quelque chose qui a disparu. Quelque chose de pur, de limpide... qui n’existe plus." Qui est Romane Monnier ? D’elle, il ne reste qu’un téléphone portable. Des notes, des messages, des souvenirs, des enregistrements, autant de traces confiées à un inconnu, un samedi soir dans un bar.

Others, however, found the story lacking in depth and excitement, criticizing it for being too simplistic or overly familiar. The fragmented storytelling through texts, voicemails, and digital records was praised for its originality, yet some felt it led to a disjointed and unsatisfying narrative.
