Un jour d'automne, c’est rare, le fils pousse une visite à son père, sans prévenir. À quoi bon, vu la nouvelle qu’il porte? Du reste, le vieux ne relève plus son courrier depuis qu’il vit en solitaire dans ce coin perdu au fond d’une gorge de montagne, un vrai sauvage. De là à l’accueillir au fusil! C'est qu'il n'y est pas si tranquille, le bougre... Voici une histoire de père et de fils, d’enfance perdue, de rêves et de peurs; une histoire d’amour et de mort.
