Alain Mardel

As summer vacation draws to a close, a mute girl meets and joins a group of idealistic friends during one last farewell party before most of them head off to study abroad. Those left behind don't know what to do with their lives and decide to continue their party lifestyle by robbing the rich and partying with their money, without weapons or violence. Unfortunately, every party must come to an end.

The caretaker of a decaying fort serves as the narrator of this story. He is the only soldier who has remained at his post all these years. He tells us the tale of Eugène, a young prospector in search of his first green gold vein. Unfortunately, Eugène is ambushed by Raphaël and Gauvain, two escaped convicts on the run.
