Olga de Benoist set herself a task to portray "careless and shining Paris", the Paris, seen through the eyes of young hippies and hipsters, the darlings of fortune. Her characters love life, they know how to enjoy it and still they are obsessed with an existential pathos. Every now and then they say, "Who are we? Why do we live?" (Konstantin Grishine's literary review of the book The Age of Rain)
