Synopsis : The story begins in Paris, after “World War III” and the nuclear destruction of the entire surface of the Earth. The hero is the guinea pig of scientists seeking to re-establish a time corridor to enable people in the future to transport food, medicine and energy sources. He was chosen because of his excellent visual memory: he retains a very strong and present image of an event he experienced as a child, during a walk with his mother on the Orly airport pier.
