After accidentally falling into a black hole that appeared in the middle of the forest, Roman must confront his old neuroses in the hope of saving the world. A wild journey at the cutting edge of technology.
A young, out-of-touch writer—or rather, a journalist for Bois Magazine searching for a good idea for his first book—Roman is forced to conduct research on oak trees when he falls into a quantum rift inadvertently created by Léa, a daring scientist. Roman must then explore both the depths of this black hole and those of his subconscious to save the world. As wild as it is exhilarating, Paradoxes harnesses the possibilities offered by modern technology to hold up a mirror to its protagonists’ mental torments. Through digital special effects and the judicious use of generative AI, the series explores a rich new dimension—a veritable playground for experimentation with inventive storytelling.
