Yves crosses centuries and returns to the small village of Saint Jean-du-Doigt. In the course of their/Yves wanderings, they meet a shaman in connection with the spirits, a painter in search of light, a storyteller who will initiate them to the secrets of traditional Breton songs, a mystic who tells them about the pardon of Saint Jean. Queen Anne of Brittany and her knight join them/Yves in their quest and reveal the mysteries of their origin.
