The Red Sofa

Set against the backdrop of post-Soviet Russia, the story follows Anne on her journey aboard the Trans-Siberian Railway in search of her long-lost lover, Gyl. As she travels, memories of her past with Gyl intertwine with reflections on Clémence Barrot, her elderly neighbor whose vibrant tales of adventure and resilience inspire Anne. Ultimately, the journey becomes a quest for self-discovery, leading Anne to find deeper meaning in her experiences rather than the closure she initially sought.
