The 1990s. Owen is a teenager who leads an uneventful life, until the day Maddy, a classmate, introduces him to The Pink Opaque, a fantasy series broadcast late at night in which two girls their age fight an evil adversary. This programme, with its aura of the forbidden about it, shakes up the introverted Owen’s everyday life. Even more so when the programme is cancelled. Will Owen be able to pursue a destiny he finds hard to handle?
In a moving, dreamlike and melancholy story of initiation, which invites us to face up to our real or imagined demons, Jane Schoenbrun revisits the young female characters of the Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Charmed generation, which she grew up with.
