Iris

Iris, a teacher, very rarely agrees with others. She systematically challenges the consensus, and the people around her are growing increasingly fed up with her. She promised Claude, her boyfriend, that she would be “very normal” at the dinner planned for that evening at her brother’s house. But after a meeting with a publisher to discuss her first book, she has other things on her mind. Iris arrives at the dinner having forgotten her promise...
