First of all there is Basile Matin a young man who dreamt of Fafatao-Laoupo symbol of the penultimate sleep...Now he knows that he will die if he ever falls asleep again in his life. The problem is that at his age you still like to think that you have your life before you. And then there is Igor another type altogether. He works a little and studies almost not at all... But he doesnt have any money and hes bored. That is why Basiles story is terribly interesting to him even if he doesnt really understand it.
