The day comes when your children look at your past as if you had fought at Verdun. The day comes when an official letter questions your age and your status and pushes you toward retirement. The day comes when your latest screenplay idea does not turn into a film. The day comes when your new bank manager urgently summons you.

The story of a mystery and an adventure.
