"The scene takes place not far from Lake Baikal, where I live... in Irkutsk, the capital of Eastern Siberia. Hooded men appear, it is morning. My daughter is screaming. She is five. I was arrested in front of her, then ... accused of pedophilia.... men want my skin.... In the jails of Siberia, I try to understand. In the mental hospital where I was later locked up, I try to understand. I am promised fifteen years in a prison camp...." -- Cataloger's abridgment and interpretation of the French synopsis

"Autobiographical novel based on the Frenchman Yoann Barbereau's claim that he had been falsely accused of making child pornography in Russia". He returned to Nantes by fleeing from house arrest in Siberia and trekking into Mongolia." -- cataloger's judgment based on information from various websites.
