In Paris, a bunch of famous dead people from various eras come back to life to meddle with today’s Parisians.

Victor Hugo has a heated argument about love, Jim Morrison mocks a tattooed vegan, Marquis de Sade seeks punishment during social unrest, Charles Baudelaire stumbles across cute kittens on social media, Rimbaud and Verlaine fire guns in a bank, Marie-Antoinette’s head finds its happy place... and many more.

In this novella of twenty vignettes - one per Parisian arrondissement - a dreamlike, multifaceted world offers a hilarious study of humanity and once again proves that - without a doubt - the dead have lots to say.
