Raphaël, a one-eyed man, is the caretaker of a mansion where no one lives anymore. Approaching 60, he lives with his mother in a small house at the entrance of the grand estate. His days are filled with mole hunting, bagpipe practice, and the occasional ride in the postwoman’s Kangoo van. One stormy night, Garance—the heiress—returns to the family mansion, and nothing will ever be the same again.
