What is this elusive and distant memory floating in Jacominus’s head when he wakes up from his nap? In his twilight years, sitting in his garden, he just knows that it was something wonderful. He thus dives back into his past. Memory after memory, along with the help and encouragement of his longtime friend Policarpe, he gradually travels through time. In the end, he rediscovers not one, but five wonderful things, all equally precious, which he will enjoy alongside his friend.
