Romain is looking for the ocean. He is running in vain, away from suffering he cannot face alone. Yet he is unable to find neither the shore nor respite. Thieves in the Night is the story of his encounter with Vivian, a woman whose sadness is defined by her strength. In this night of unworldly strangeness, it is through one another that they manage to obtain a desired restfulness.—Thieves in the Night
After the loss of his wife, Romain runs away from home and finds himself in an unknown village in the middle of the night. There, he meets Vivian, an older woman who will take him through a journey to her own sorrow and teach him her way of dealing with tragedy.
