La Grande Librairie is a 90-minute literary program, launched by François Busnel in September 2008 and presented by Augustin Trapenard since 2022, broadcast live every Wednesday on France 5. A direct successor to Bernard Pivot's Apostrophes, it is the only literary program scheduled in prime time and is considered the most influential program on book sales, thanks to its connection with small bookstores, which attest to the return of readers in many French cities.

A young boy lives alone with his mother. One morning, she doesn't wake up. Unexpectedly, he decides not to let anyone know. During the course of a day that could appear as ordinary, as he wanders aimlessly through a natural landscape bathed in late-summer light, he begins to understand the drama that has occurred and to take the first steps toward accepting it.
