Having come to Paris at the behest of the Opéra Garnier, which has commissioned him to write the libretto for a children's opera based on a fairy-tale by Hans Christian Andersen, a Québécois songwriter settles down in a friend's apartment, rue Saint-Denis. During his stay, he necessarily meets people: one of the Opéra's senior managers (a man with some odd and unusual likings), a young janitor and graffiti artist of North African descent, as well as a dog who could well be guiding the tale along its way. Once again, Lepage tells the story of a Québécois whose travels abroad and meetings with others allow him to find out what defines, motivates and inspires him. Content appropriate for mature audiences only.
