Raphaël has only one eye, he's the caretaker of an uninhabited manor. Almost 60 years old, he lives with his mother in a small bungalow at the entrance of the grand bourgeois estate. Between hunting moles, playing bagpipes, and going for drives in the postwoman's car, the days go by ever unchanging. One stormy night, Garance, the heiress, returns to the family home.
