Millénium Blues raconte une transition, de la fin des années 90 à nos jours, à travers le regard piquant et nostalgique de Zouzou. Dans une saga moderne, elle promène sur son époque son regard d’enfant, d’adolescente, puis de jeune femme, et enfin de mère, tout cela dans le désordre ou presque. Le 11 septembre 2001, la coupe du monde 1998, le second tour de l’élection présidentielle de 2002 ou encore la Grippe A, sont autant d’évènements qui jalonnent le récit privé de la jeune femme.
