Having become a stranger to all others -and even to himself - he makes a living by giving lectures in French universities. Paul thus wanders from town to town, merely going through the motions of life. One winter, an umpteenth round of lectures takes him to Strasbourg, his native town.

He also witnesses a fatal drama that leaves him speechless... Written by
