Summary:
"Deux étudiants en agronomie, angoissés comme toute leur génération par la crise écologique, refusent le défaitisme et se mettent en tête de changer le monde. Kevin, fils d'ouvriers agricoles, lance une start-up de vermicompostage et endosse l'uniforme du parfait transfuge sur la scène du capitalisme vert. Arthur, enfant de la bourgeoisie, tente de régénérer le champ familial ruiné par les pesticides mais se heurte à la réalité de la vie rurale. Au fil de leur apprentissage, les deux amis mettent leurs idéaux à rude épreuve. Du bocage normand à la Silicon Valley, des cellules anarchistes aux salons ministériels, Gaspard Kœnig raconte les paradoxes de notre temps - mobilité sociale et mépris de classe, promesse de progrès et insurrection écologique, amour impossible et désespoir héroïque... Une histoire de terre et d'hommes, dans la grande veine de la littérature réaliste."-- Provided by publisher.
