It is 1969, the year man walked on the Moon. The two narrators of La mauvaise foi return: Marcel and his uncle Philippe, who has come back to the country to end his days and is staying with Marcel in Sainte-Luce. Uncle and nephew are alike in being voluntary exiles. This time it is Philippe, the self-taught great talker, who tells his own story, set against rural life in the 1960s, homophobia and the weight of religion. What happened on a certain night long ago?
