From the top of his crane, Salvador overlooks his construction site and the city. He is a happy man, fulfilled by the woman who loves him and his first child who is about to be born. But suddenly, as he contemplates the hole that appeared at the end of his woolen sock, he is sucked into the space between the stitches, falling into a deep abyss. And here is Salvador lost in a universe populated by curious protagonists, his fantasies, his worst fears and his own memories. His quest can then begin. But what is he looking for? Perhaps the truth about his mother, the child he was or the father he could be...

Le roi du jour et de la nuit
is like an Alice in Wonderland in the universe of David Lynch, a literary fantasy where the keys are hidden at the end of strange paths.
