Rachel is a lawyer. She is the adopted daughter of a large family of magistrates dominated by Maxime (Michel Bouquet), a ruthless and strange prosecutor. She has not left the world of carelessness, between dreams and nightmares. She often indulges in strange daydreams, but the reality of this case is going to clash with her life. Her first client has just committed suicide in prison. In front of this woman's coffin. Everything comes back to her, the visiting room, the scene of the crime, the story of an abused life. As children, they lived in the same village. Like in a fairy tale, the gate of a castle separated them. The truth about their relationship is revealed. Rachel must face her obsessions.

Ernest Pignon Ernest is a French visual artist who is considered one of the pioneers of urban art in France. This film recounts the major stages of a considerable body of work that began in the 1960s on the Albion plateau and culminated in Les Extases at the Abbey Church of Bernay. The film gives him space to speak freely, generously, and with conviction. Ernest Pignon Ernest's hands are ancient, reaching back from Caravaggio to Titian, from Masaccio to El Greco. His works speak to us. They transform our streets into fictional spaces, reminiscences, rituals.

To the rhythm of the tides, isolated in a hotel facing the sea, Michel Bouquet sees the works and thoughts of the greatest theater and cinema authors of the 20th century resurface. These are the people who have marked his life and shaped his thinking. Reality has faded away for him; only fiction matters now. During these days facing the sea, he will reveal to us the truths of an extraordinary actor who was the reference point for the great authors of the Theater of the Absurd, Pinter, Ionesco, Strindberg, Camus... During these nights of shipwreck, it is the twilight of his thinking that he conjures up.
