Synopsis
After an accident in which he suffers a head injury, Simon Legouge, a modest notary’s clerk, begins to experience a series of strange visions.   Seeing that Simon needs a change of air, his employer sends him to Spain to deal with an inheritance matter.  During the train journey, Simon seems to recognise the unfamiliar countryside.  Even more bizarrely, when he arrives at his destination, a village named Tournepique, he feels he knows the people he meets there.  Haunted by a growing sense of dejà-vu, Simon begins to investigate an unsolved crime that was committed a hundred years before...
