L'homme tout nu

Three brothers, Pierre, Aymeril and Marcabrus, set out from their modest ancestral home in the Provençal hills, each on a very different mount—one a proud warhorse, another a humble mare, and the last on foot. Their departure is steeped in the tangled legacy of a father who blended devout piety with riotous excess, leaving a mixed inheritance of wit, a taste for wine, and a handful of curious habits. As they ride toward the fabled crossroads of Marcellane, the sun‑scorched plain and the distant chime of cicadas frame a journey that feels both epic and oddly personal.

The brothers’ arrival at the crossroads—once a humble stop for a saint’s sister—brings them into a world of wandering merchants, sly rogues and restless travelers. Amid the cracked stone and the whispered legends of the region, they confront the weight of their lineage while the memory of their childhood home haunts them like a distant drum. Their path promises adventure, humor, and the inevitable clash between noble ambition and the messy reality of a family that never quite fit the mold.
