Match !

Desperately seeking her Prince Charming. At 10, Marilyne imagined she'd meet the man of her dreams at the village dance, just like her parents. Twenty years later, while her friends were settling down, she signed up for Meetic... At 35, still single while her friends had become mothers, she tried AdopteUnMec (Adopt a Guy). At 40, successive lockdowns pushed her onto Tinder... With a blend of biting humor and melancholic lucidity, this autofiction—accompanied by original live covers of popular love songs—reveals the full complexity of dating. Between digital disillusionment and romantic refrains, this funny and poignant story tenderly explores our visceral need to love in the face of the pitfalls of the dating market and the pressure to be in a couple as a marker of "social normality."
