Below, a valley, further away, the sea. A sixty-nine-year-old man and his partner live peacefully. Abel comes from the North where he worked for half a century in the mines. He retired to Catalonia and met Lydie - a young woman, barely fifty! They are in love. For life to start over, all he had to do was move from north to south.

Abel's slightly mischievous wisdom, who learned everything - except indifference - and his childlike innocence make him discover everything: people, the Catalan language, the mountains, the garrigue, the sea. He tastes fruits, builds a terrace, fishes at sea, digs for treasure, and loves Lydie with all his might. André Stil wonderfully tells the story of youthful love, in this novel of happiness and the joy of living.
