Tesoro oculto

Louise's life changes completely when her cat, after seventeen years together, dies. While, heartbroken, she buries him by the banks of the Yonne River, she finds a fortune: a treasure trove of coins and remnants of another life. This newfound luck shakes her hitherto stagnant existence and compels her to follow the relentless course of the water. The current carries her from city to city until she reaches Italy. In Capri, she meets the reserved Luigi, an elegant man, steeped in silence and with a predilection for solitude. Their journeys intertwine: on the islands of Procida and Ischia, they encounter light and shadow, beauty and ruin. At the same time, Louise perceives in every corner an echo of her memory, of her childhood, and the need to finally resolve the mysterious absence of her mother. Quignard weaves a tale of life that shifts and life that fades away. The external journey, born from a burial, becomes an intimate exploration, the most profound of exhumations. Every loss leads to the unexpected, while grief invites you to let go, to descend to the bottom in order to emerge to the surface with a new treasure.
