AURORA: internationally renowned author. She is the disruptor. She comes to shed light on what is supposed to stay hidden. She is sharp as a knife and invested in a mission too heavy for her.
SOLÈNE, Aurora’s sister, financial manager of the Liberty Estate.She is the guardian of traditions and protector of the family's reputation. She appears to be solid and steady as a central pillar but is on the verge of cracking and collapsing.
ANGIE, Aurora’s and Solène’s cousin, Solène’s assistant at the Liberty Estate.She is the peacemaker and guardian angel of the family. She is the link between the visible and the invisible worlds. She's as fluid as water and as bright as the sun.
