Synopsis

First of all there is Basile Matin, a young boy who dreamt of Fafatao-Laoupo, symbol of the penultimate sleep… Now he knows that he will die if he ever falls asleep again. And then there is Igor, another type altogether. he works a little and studies almost not at all… But he doesn't have any money and he's bored. Finally there is also Johnny Got. A little bit of a freelance journalist, a little bit of a detective, pretty much a daredevil and someone who likes to stick his nose in things that don't concern him...
