"Quelque chose a changé". Avec ces quatre mots, commence le nouveau livre de Philippe Labro. Ce "quelque chose", n'est autre que le début de la plongée dans une dépression nerveuse dont le célèbre romancier, journaliste et cinéaste, a été victime entre septembre 1999 et mai 2001. Dans un récit sans concession, l'auteur raconte ce que signifie perdre le désir, l'énergie, la passion, l'estime de soi. Il va tenter de chercher dans des scènes de son passé des explications à ce qui n'est "peut-être pas explicable". Il démontre que l'on peut "en sortir". Car ce témoignage unique, porté par le souffle de l'écriture, constitue aussi une éclatante affirmation de la force de la vie et de l'amour.
