Hildy ha diciotto anni e frequenta l’ultimo anno di liceo. Di buona famiglia, è una studentessa modello fin troppo rispettosa delle regole. Paul ha quasi diciannove anni, non ha un lavoro fisso ed è meravigliosamente sfrontato e intrigante. Hildy e Paul non si conoscono e appartengono chiaramente a mondi distanti anni luce. È probabile che non si sarebbero mai incontrati se non avessero deciso di partecipare, ognuno per le proprie ragioni, a un esperimento organizzato dal dipartimento di psicologia dell’università. Una ricerca che si propone di rispondere a un quesito semplice quanto ambizioso: può l’amore – sentimento nobilissimo e raro di cui grondano romanzi, film e canzoni pop – essere “pilotato” se non addirittura costruito a tavolino? Per capirlo, Hildy e Paul (vedi alla voce cavie) dovranno rispondere insieme a un questionario di 36 domande. Di risposta in risposta, alternando le risate ai pianti e passando attraverso arrabbiature, segreti inconfessabili, bugie, fughe improvvise e ritorni inaspettati potrebbero accorgersi che forse, al di là delle loro evidenti differenze, qualcosa di profondo li unisce. Che si tratti di quella cosa che inizia per A di cui tutti sembrano andare in cerca?

Ils ne se sont jamais vus et doivent se poser 36 questions pour apprendre à se connaître comme « À quoi ressemblerait une journée parfaite pour vous ? », « Si une boule de cristal pouvait vous révéler la vérité, que voudriez-vous savoir ? » ou encore « Quand avez-vous pleuré pour la dernière fois ? ». Au fil de leurs échanges, ils vont rire, pleurer, se mentir et apprendre à se connaître. Mais aussi découvrir les secrets douloureux que chacun essayait de garder enfouis. Cela suffira-t-il à faire naître des sentiments ? Deux Étrangers. Deux secrets. 36 questions pour tomber amoureux.
