Vincent has a complicated family life. He’s stuck in a dull marriage that he doesn’t dare break off for fear of upsetting his daughter, and he has a mistress who he met at work. He is also passionate about football. One day, at Parc des Princes, he bumps into Kevin, a fellow ex-player who always used to sub for him on the pitch, thus living out his youth in Vincent’s shadow. This “friend” comes back into his life and the pair set out to recapture their shared passion for the beautiful game. This book is a true modern vaudeville, full of comedy and unexpected twists.
