Plot: Raymond (Bernard Blancan) is a very lonely peasant who lives so detached from the world that the peasants of the village nearby his family house consider him as dead for more than 30 years.None sees him but people know he is around and, as all secretly reproach themselves to not have helped the young Raymond after his all family death before he disappeared, they consider the family house as haunted by Raymonds ghost.When Frédéric (Antoine Chappey), Caroline (Lucia Sanchez) and their children come from the city to install themselves in the countryside, they know nothing about these villages tells and find in Raymonds family house a rare opportunity.After 32 years of supposed inoccupation they decide to do some works on the house and suddenly the so silent place becomes very occupied and noisy, leaving to Raymond only one safe place where to hide: the well at the end of the garden.From his hidden place, Raymond observes the new comers and once the works are finished he uses the night to explore the house while the others are sleeping.From the beginning the children are sure that a ghost is around, hopefully a friendly ghost. Their doubt becomes a certitude when they find back in different places of the house the different objects they throw in the well.If at first they think the responsible ones for the objects disappearing/re-appearing in incongruous places, are their children, little by little the parents start to doubt as well, especially when they get to know the villagers tells about Raymond.Raymond on his side, is driven by curiosity which makes him take more and more risks to be discovered. But maybe thats what he want after all these years of silent solitude ?
