A delusion of persecution scripted by Georges Perec! Chantal, a bank employee, has the constant impression of being spied on by surveillance cameras, customers, passers-by... She confides her anxieties to her husband, who pays little attention. After a Sunday in the country, instead of being calmed, her troubles increase.

Through the eyes of his friends and the adaptation of "Espèces d'espaces", this original documentary offers the least institutional image, the most friendly, the closest to Georges Perec. This documentary is composed of two films that respond to each other: one is a montage of conversations that Bernard Queysanne had with some of Georges Perec's many friends. They remember above all the man: the one who wrote on any piece of paper, who excelled in the art of puns, who liked to party with his friends and who lived sometimes unhappy love affairs. The other is an adaptation of "Espèces d'espaces", the writer's reflections on places: rooms, buildings, streets and districts.

Does the devil wear white? In a small province, a certain Miss B leaves corpses in her wake and fuels a lot of superstitious gossip. Despite warnings from the villagers, a writer becomes interested in the case and decides to visit the mysterious young woman dressed in white.
