The Time Thief

In 1988, in Saint-Élie-de-Caxton, an eleven years old boy is worried for his grandmother’s life. Worn out by illness, the old storyteller tries to convince her grandson that the Death no longer exists. Her story will bring back to life the extraordinary people from the village in 1927 who, by using rocambolesque tricks, will eliminate the Death that threatens them. From now on, death will coincide with the birth of legends.
