The fictionalized autobiography of the 2014 Nobel Prize winner in Literature, Patrick and his brother are entrusted to friends of their parents in Paris after World War II. Little is known about the women responsible for the two boys beyond what Patrick reveals in snippets of conversations: that one of them is a sad person and the other was a circus performer. This, in addition to the fact that they receive frequent visits from Jean D. and Roger Vincent during the day and several nighttime visitors. In this intangible world, the two brothers walk hand in hand through childhood, along the rue du Docteur-Dornaine and amidst visits to castles, excursions to Paris, reading adventure stories, and afternoons listening to the radio—always waiting for someone to come back for them one day.
