Synopsis

Maud, vingt et un ans, cache sa beaut� et ses id�aux derri�re de vilaines lunettes. Elle s'engage dans une ONG et se retrouve au volant d'un quinze tonnes sur les routes de la Bosnie en guerre. Les quatre hommes qui l'accompagnent dans ce convoi sont bien diff�rents de l'image habituelle des volontaires humanitaires. Dans ce quotidien de machisme, Maud r�ussira malgr� tout � se placer au centre du jeu. Un � un, ses compagnons vont lui r�v�ler les blessures secr�tes de leur existence. Et la v�ritable nature de leur chargement. � travers des personnages d'une force exceptionnelle, Jean-Christophe Rufin nous offre un puissant thriller psychologique. Et l'aventure de Maud �claire un des dilemmes les plus fondamentaux de notre �poque. � l'heure o� la violence s'invite jusqu'au coeur de l'Europe, y a-t-il encore une place pour la neutralit� bienveillante de l'action humanitaire ? Face � la souffrance, n'est-il pas temps, d�sormais, de prendre les armes ?
