Troubadours
Un roman d’amour dont l’action se situe dans la première moitié du XXe siècle.
L’amour ne prémunit de rien, mais il ouvre les portes de l’espoir. « Malicorne », the residence of the Marsillac familly, is a haven of peace and indolence as well as the ideal setting for dreams and utopias. But the First World War is brewing and ultimately breaks out. In this turmoil, destinies are boung to be distorted. Guillaume, the last-born child, happens to meet Antonin, a bohemian painter. Their scandalous love is to fuel rumours in the trenches. Jeanne lands in the ashes of the charnel house. As a free woman, she leaves any kind of smugnesses aside and cauterizes wounds. Laughter is returning. Gilbert the eldest son, back from the War, is trying his best to recover his faith.
One senseless night is to show them the new paths to borrow. Gilbert is to look for redemption in the spices of exile and of colonized India. Guillaume kicks and snorts like an injured horse. Jeanne keeps clinging to hope whatever the cost. In the background, during the interwar years, Lyon unveils itself and shows its scars.
« Malicorne » also stands for number three. Three like the scoundrel sowing discord in a couple, three like noisy and quarrelsome siblings among whom alliances are as changing as the wind, three like an unreliable tripod, three like the stages of our life…
