From behind his turntable, Juan Llosa set the whole world dancing for one long twenty-year night until suddenly, one evening, the music stopped. Suffering from chronic burnout and pushing forty, this anti-hero makes an urgent move to a village in Ardèche, southeastern France, where he finds a motley community, colorful and kindly. For him, this is a chance to recall a life full of excess, with no regrets, and to reinvent himself—haltingly at first, but always with humor and self-deprecation. He is about to undergo an authentic inner revolution and will not escape an unforgettable love affair, caught up in the tragic upheavals of history.
