A nightmarish and visionary comic book by Jean Lecointre, enhanced by collages from magazines from the 1950s and 1960s.

At the height of his powers of image manipulation, Jean Lecointre takes his hero on an introspective-phantasmagorical voyage to Barcarolle, the island of all possibilities. Will he rediscover the desire to live? Poulenc, a "star" researcher in his field, explores the human psyche. Thanks to drugs, he reaches levels of consciousness never imagined. But the euphoria of success has become a nightmare. Dependent, uncontrollable, and in the throes of an existential crisis, the hero seeks a way out.
