Amélie Nothomb

Ao perder seu vôo no aeroporto de Paris, um arquiteto de sucesso é abordado por uma garota chamada Texel, uma jovem estranha que o força a ouvir suas histórias, que aos poucos se tornam cada vez mais ameaçadoras e possivelmente reais.

A Japanophile young Belgian woman in Tokyo falls into a whirlwind romance with a Francophile Japanese student, in this charming and tender tale of young love and cultural discovery.

Part police thriller and part exploration of the dark side of men's attitudes about women, Hygiene de l'assassin concerns a young female journalist, Nina (Barbara Schulz). Nina has scored a plumb assignment, an interview with Tach (Jean Yanne), a well-known but reculsive novelist who rarely speaks to the press. After he passes along his less-than-charitable views about women (including the belief they should be killed in childhood, before they start to menstruate), Nina concludes the interview, but soon finds herself interrogated by police when Tach is found dead and she is the key suspect.
