Espèces en voie de disparition

Hidden deep in each of us are stories that sometimes wake to remind us of exceptional people, from our past, our childhood or further back, who knew how to love, live and die better than we ever will. Each story stages one of these irreplaceable beings: a father who disappears into the river before his son is born, a fallen angel who sets a group of young travellers on fire, a woman who gives a painter the strength to bring a work into the world, a child a couple refused to have, and another couple, on the threshold of death, still haunted by desire.
