Description

A quiet country estate near the sea becomes a stage for whispered rivalries and uneasy alliances. When Honoré arrives with his luggage, the newly arrived Sylvie rushes to open the stubborn windows, revealing a home that has been left to linger in the shadow of a recent death. Their banter hints at an undercurrent of tension, as family members and an enigmatic guest—Madame or Mademoiselle Sarah—prepare to enter the house, each carrying their own concealed motives.

The drama unfolds across four acts, moving from the windswept cliffs of Dieppe to the bustling streets of Paris, and invites listeners to eavesdrop on the fragile balance between hospitality and suspicion. Early conversations about repairs, the missing copper latch, and the looming arrival of a meddlesome uncle set the tone for a compelling exploration of loyalty, secrets, and the way ordinary spaces can conceal extraordinary conflicts.
