Synopsis
A group of people have been reading a book together for thirty years. They have been reading it again and again, each course from first to last page taking eleven years. Once they arrive to the last word, a very enigmatic "the", they start all over again, following with the first word, "riverrun". The text seems inexhaustible, its interpretation endless, the inconclusive nature of the reading, exciting. The world seems to cease existing outside that reading room; or perhaps it exists because of it.
