Marseille 1850. Pytha is a young beggar left to fend for herself, relying solely on her wits to get by – until the day a dying old fool leaves her a mysterious oracle… Soon, Py discovers that she has a marvelous power: while reading the cards of the oracle, she can pass over into an alternate world filled with mists and dancing shadows. But the old woman had already warned her: the cards will attract envy and ill-intentioned people will try to get a hold of them.
A prediction soon turning into reality as archbishop Guibert, a man of the cloth obsessed with the occult, kidnaps her. Against all odds, the initial hate and distrust blossoms into a strange friendship. Yet Py decides that she has to see through on her own the quest for the mysterious woman with the yellow turban she has seen in her visions. Travelling from Viviers to Paris and to Lyon, Py embraces her destiny, letting herself be guided by the cards of the oracle. But signs have to be interpreted in the right way and you better watch out for the whims of chance that likes nothing better than to play with the ways of destiny…
