Summary
Alexandre Gérard is perturbed when, one day, he receives an
anonymous photograph. It is a picture of himself as a young boy,
tied to a chair with an expression of horror on his face.
Confused memories resurface in Alexandre’s mind and he feels compelled
to return to the isolated country house which served as an orphanage
for him and several other boys thirty years ago. The locals
remember a day when all of the boys – except Alexandre – mysteriously
disappeared. At the time, Alexandre was in a state of complete
amnesia and had no knowledge of what had happened. The mystery of
that fateful day has remained intact for three decades. Now it is
time to discover the truth...
