When the Italian neighbour knows how to soothe every sorrow of a boy born into a frayed family, his mother takes revenge. Yet the neighbour enchants the child, sewing him clothes with musketeer cuffs and knitting him sweaters and scarves, until the day he leaves the fossil silence of his family to discover elsewhere and gentleness. Grown up, on a leather bench at the bar of the Train Bleu restaurant, he realizes the distress his family caused him. Why did he betray the beautiful Sèna, whom he loves, and can he find her again?
