In 1916, in an isolated farm in Haute Provence, Léon Morgon, a paralytic patriarch, reigns over a world of women: Appolonie, his daughter, Baptistine, his daughter-in-law and Maridoun, his granddaughter. Jean, Baptistine's husband, is reported missing on the Eastern front. The only boy left is Félix, a young man with troubled sexuality, Baptistine's son, who is convinced that his father is still alive. An abandoned village called "Malaterra" overlooks the Morgon clan's farm. The village is cursed, villagers say they have seen ghosts dancing there at night. The police would like to understand what is going on in Malaterra.

March 1943. In the middle of the Italian occupation of Corsica, two Communist resistance brothers strategically link up with two Italian trouffions in order to get the information necessary to organize the parachute drops on the Balagne.

Like all laboratory rats, Pedro is a rattus norvegicus for more or less close vivisection. But his name is Pedro, and for a Norwegian rat it's already a problem. From his cage, the rodent observes the wanderings and disappointments of the heterogeneous visitors of his cellar, in the basement of a pharmaceutical lab. Pedro lives his life as an animal ready for all experiments even the most stupid, under the scrutiny of a band of labors and preachers preachers, more worried about whether Pedro is Spanish or Norwegian than to carry out any experience scientist. And Pedro has a certain sense of autonomy. And the musical ear, too.
