Synopsis

Thomas Whitaker is thirty-eight years old, has a steady job in the archives at the University of Pennsylvania, and lives a life ordered with the precision of an inventory. He likes facts, documents, things that can be verified. Extraordinary stories? Not really his thing.

Then, one October night, the impossible happens.

Thomas goes through an experience he can neither prove nor fully explain. So he does what he knows best: he writes everything down. Methodically. Without embellishment. Without invention. Without trying to make the story more spectacular than it was.

That is probably his first mistake.

Because once his account becomes public, Thomas quickly discovers that the truth is not enough. The media want a better story. The internet wants answers. Enthusiasts want revelations. And the more Thomas tries to be precise, the more people suspect that he is hiding something.

Little by little, his story slips out of his hands.

What actually happened becomes secondary. Interpretations multiply, certainties take hold, facts become distorted... and Thomas begins to understand that it may be much easier to convince people with a good story than with the truth.

Cosmic Error is a funny, sharp, and at times unsettling science-fiction satire about our relationship with facts, the media, conspiracy theories, and our almost irresistible need to turn the unknown into a story.

Because when the truth is not spectacular enough, someone always finds a way to improve it.
