Mathéo Palma

When four distant cousins inherit a 19th-century home in Normandy, they decide to visit and examine their family history. No one has lived there since the 1940s, and the cousins are intrigued by all of the items they find there, little things that help them to understand their ancestor, Adèle Vermillard. Jumping back and forth in time, they meet the mysterious Adèle, whose bohemian lifestyle, and her relationships with the leading artists of the time, changes their lives.

It's a story of love and wallpaper. Alexei is a well-balanced young man, but ever since he bought wallpaper to decorate his apartment, he's been isolating himself... A veritable object of desire, the wallpaper with which he covers his interior obsesses him to the point of literally cutting him off from the rest of the world. Alone, as if lost in the middle of the ocean, he develops a strange passion for it that gradually consumes him.
