The small Belgian town of Charleroi is shocked by a bloody terrorist attack. The explosion on the porch of the cathedral resulted in many casualties. They suspect that religious fanatics are behind him. Augustin, a homeless youth who managed to get an internship at a local newspaper, becomes involved in these events. Trying to prove his suitability for journalism, he begins his own investigation. An unnoticed boy who grew up in an orphanage is endowed with a unique gift - to see tiny creatures hovering above people. Who are these - angels, demons, memories, perhaps the dead who have not resigned themselves to their fate?.. Is he really going crazy or, perhaps, is he the sage who is given the power to decipher the madness of others? Eric-Emmanuel Schmitt, in his characteristic original manner, continues his study of the spiritual secrets of man... For the first time in Russian!
