Raphaël only has one eye. He is the caretaker of a mansion where no one lives anymore. At almost 60 years old, he lives with his mother in a small pavilion at the entrance of the large estate. Between mole hunting, playing the bagpipes, and rides in the postwoman's car, days pass by uneventfully. On a stormy night, Garance, the heiress, returns to the family home. Nothing will ever be the same again.
