Seventh-grader Pierre-Anton decides nothing has meaning. He leaves school, climbs a plum tree, and intends to stay there forever. His peers are determined to prove to him that meaning exists, and they will find it, create it—they will build a whole mountain of meaning! In the name of meaning, the kids part with the most valuable things they have: a bicycle, comics, a personal diary... But gradually the situation escalates, classmates become more obsessive and cruel, and at some point, everything goes too far.

A modern 'Lord of the Flies' is a gripping, provocative existential novel.
