Book Synopsis

Alfred Sisley, a seasoned elder inhabited by melancholy, lives alone, withdrawn from the world. He waits in silence for a sign — that of his one true love.

Powerless against crumbling time, he tries to overcome his sorrows, to contain his recurring dreams and to appease his heartbreaking writings, remnants of an inner life still wide awake.

The encounter with Joey shatters this fragile balance. In him, Sisley recognizes the reflection of his thirty-year-old self: an intimate resonance, a profound unity, an unexpected synergy. Through music — vibrant echo of his past — Sisley reopens the doors of his memory. He then confides his story to Joey in the hope of finding what he is missing.

Between shared silences and whispered confidences, their relationship becomes a suspended space where the past and the present converge. Some encounters do not come to fill a void, but to finally give it meaning.
