Si Léon tries to free himself from his dependency bond towards his mother, Éthienne, a little carbon-paper man with a dirty story, will rather try, for his part, to get rid of his father, a cow-man who walks badly and slowly, who is afraid of everything and who acts very little. A useless father.
Éthienne's story, completely unbridled and captivating, appears before our eyes through a few torn pieces of paper. Fragile, volatile, ephemeral, this object theater has been shaking the hardest hearts for 20 years and leaves indelible traces wherever it passes: twisting, delightful, ingenious, disturbing, mythical... A black pearl.
