Up until now, Zephyrin has led a pleasant if uneventful existence. The little apartment in Montmartre where he lives with his mother, his pals and girlfriends, the high school where he may not be known for academic prowess but gets along nonetheless just fine?in sum, life is great. Until the day when Super Toukan, his drawing instructor, decides the class should visit the Louvre. Zephyrin isn't wild about the trip. It's not that he's insensitive to painting, but the Italian primitives?seen one you've seen them all, as far as he's concerned. He drifts off from the group and finds himself by chance in another room, and there his life changes irrevocably.
Is it possible for a boy born in 1994 to fall hopelessly in love with a girl who first saw the light of day at the turn of the 17th century, the girl whose portrait is here before him? And, most important, how can he explain this sudden wound, the blood trickling from his arm? From this moment, Zephyrin puts into practice his very own auto-suggestion-inspired maxim: just because a problem is insoluble, that should not prevent one from trying to solve it. And the adventure begins. Who was this girl, painted three centuries ago? Why did the painting disappear? Zephyrin plunges into his search for answers. With the help of a puzzled cop and an old scholar, expert in quantum physics who dabbles in the Indian philosophy of reincarnation, the mystery begins to unfold. And there at the scholar's home, a strange place lost in the heart of the Paris suburbs, Zephyrin discovers the meaning of a second chance.
