1242. On a dark night, travelers from across France cross paths at an inn and begin to tell stories of three children: William, an oblate on a mission from his monastery; Jacob, a Jewish boy who has fled his burning village; and Jeanne, a peasant girl who hides her prophetic visions. They are accompanied by Jeanne’s loyal greyhound, Gwenforte...recently brought back from the dead.

L'œuvre principale de François Villon. Digressions sur l'injustice, la fuite du temps, la mort, la sagesse... Villon n'a pas uniquement renouvelé la forme de la poésie de son époque mais aussi la façon de traiter les thèmes poétiques hérités de la culture médiévale qu'il anime de sa propre personnalité. Il prend ainsi à contre-pied l'idéal courtois, renverse les valeurs admises en célébrant les gueux promis au gibet. Rencontre entre deux rockers passionnés de la langue française, jongleurs de mots et conteurs d'histoires populaires.
