About the book: 2015 / Louise and Adam broke up. From now on, they are separated by thousands of kilometers. Letters exchanged between former lovers tell of past wounds, new lives and new passions. But most of all they are interested in the question of the mystery of love. Does the elixir of love really exist, or is it a trap behind which lies completely different manipulations? And finally, is it possible to enter the same water twice?.. All this is the plot of the new novel by E.-E. Schmitt’s “Elixir of Love.” This, as well as whether our decisions and actions are reversible, is discussed in the author’s new play “If we start over.” Its premiere was a huge success in the fall of 2014 at the Parisian Comedy Theater of the Champs-Elysees.
