The Green Ray

Paul Dedalus is at a crossroads in his life. He has to make several decisions; should he complete his doctorate, does he want to become a full professor, does he really love his long-standing girlfriend, or should he re-start with one of his other lovers? Is he avoiding the despairing life his father can't escape from ? It's July, and Delphine has nowhere to go for the summer. She feels very bored and "empty", but this won't last; one day she accidentally meets someone who seems to be totally made for her.
