En revenant au Maroc, pays de son adolescence, Christophe Bourguedieu évoque un sentiment mêlé : la jouissance d'images retrouvées croise le sentiment d'une intimité éteinte. Le narrateur du texte, de retour dans sa région natale, rencontre des personnages inquiétants avant qu'une femme qu'il ne cherchait pas, lui permette d'échapper à son malaise. Translation: The book has the form of the beginning of an investigation: attentive to details and sensitive to the atmosphere where meaning remains suspended. Returning to Morocco, the country of his adolescence, Christophe Bourguedieu evokes a mixed feeling: the enjoyment of found images intersect with the feeling of an extinguished intimacy. The narrator of the text, returning to his native region, encounters disturbing characters before a woman he was not looking for, allows him to escape his uneasiness.
