Serotonin

Beskrivelse

Serotonin follows Florent-Claude Labrouste, a man overwhelmed by sadness and personal failure. As he tries a new antidepressant to ease his pain, he journeys back to the Normandy countryside, only to confront the harsh realities faced by rural communities today.

A striking exploration of loneliness, despair, and the impact of modern life on individuals and rural society.

Florent-Claude Labrouste is drowning in sorrow. Rejected by his girlfriend and facing the collapse of his career, his final hope lies in a recently introduced antidepressant that changes how serotonin is released in the brain.

Seeking peace, he returns to Normandy’s countryside, but instead of calm, he encounters a rural world left behind by globalization and burdened by restrictive agricultural policies. The local farmers yearn for a past they remember as a golden era, now seemingly out of reach.

Written by one of the most provocative and insightful authors of his generation, Serotonin is a powerful critique of contemporary life. It tells a moving tale of isolation, desire, and personal anguish, capturing the struggles of both an individual and the wider community.
