Jean-Michel Ropers

30-year-old factory worker Simon lives a solitary existence on a decrepit farm in the remote French countryside. Devoting his time to caring for his sister Estelle, who was left severely disabled when a childhood game went horribly wrong, Simon is plagued by guilt and depression. But he sees a way out, looking to otherworldly forces as a means of liberating both himself and his sister from the corporeal prisons in which they are confined.

On April 14th 1912, the Titanic disaster has obscured the death of Bram Stocker, on April 20th. He was an irish writer, author of the famous « Dracula », the founding novel of the Anglo-sawon fantastic litterature in the nineteenth century.

Simon lives in the ruins of a lonely desert farm. He is not, however, alone. Caregiver to a gravely ill roommate from a childhood long past and in regular contact with beings from a far away place, Simon's home life is very full indeed.
