A romantic comedy.
Homer Angelopoulos-Lacroix is twenty-five years old. Passionate about mycology and Greek tragedies, he spends most of his time telling stories and dreaming of white truffles that will make his fortune. But when he meets the beautiful Roxane, his world is turned upside down. Desperate to win her, the young man is drawn into a series of unusual events which intersect a wicked humorist, a philanthropist manipulator, toxic mushroom cookies and a talking bust of Dostoyevsky. The story then takes on the appearance of an initiatory journey for our hero plunges into the tragedy that marked his childhood, the death of his sister for which he feels responsible.
