Elodie, age twenty-three, temporarily living in Los Angeles, decides more or less as a game to try the green card lottery that, if she gets lucky, will allow her to live and work in the USA. Out of thousands of participants, Elodie's name comes up and she quickly begins the paperwork and chest x-ray to obtain her card. But that one x-ray turns into several as doctors reach a shocking diagnosis: bone cancer.
At her young age, Elodie must find a way to face the challenge of a life-threatening illness. This is the story of the struggle that changed her life. With modesty and delicate emotional reserve, she recounts the little things that help you to survive from day to day, her own way of working through pain and fear through imagination and humour. Her doctor is dubbed Prince Charming and her intravenous drip is named Fernand, the silent and persistant witness to her joys, doubts and sorrows.
Elodie's powerful and optimistic voice also describes the reactions of her friends, a mother's devotion, a sister's compassion or a loving caress on her freshly shaved head.
