Who has not dreamed of finding a mate of his childhood? Playmates lost sight lunar characters with blurred, but which are remembered for being inseparable in the distant past. Nicknamed Bouk, a young orphan of Cambodian origin was part of the family, where he was invited to share the weekends and school holidays. Some fifty years later, the narrator, out of a connection rather grisouille with a pretty young Eurasian, will be taken from the irrepressible desire to see this almost half-brother, who has never been heard from since adolescence tormented, sailing from foster home to foster home "Auteuil Orphans". This is the starting point of a journey that will lead our hero, adventurer profession (like the author), to look into the past and take a different look on others. Adventure is waiting for you, as the mystery, and the writing is fluid despite some mannerism reminiscent of the days when a writer worthy of the name had to shine with a very personal style.
