My Mother Never Held My Hand

A man has to return to the place of his childhood to claim an inheritance. This trip which should have been a mere formality will reveal buried mysteries. Overwhelmed by the power of the countryside and by the disturbing strangeness of the remains of the big house where he lived, the narrator enters a world of ghosts. Thierry Magnier uses the dreamlike photographs of Francis Jolly to plunge the reader into a universe on the fringes of reality.
