Three brothers and sisters, accompanied by their nephew, meet to sell the house of a father they never knew. But an old man, come to shelter from the rain, will sow discord. Why does he look so much like their deceased father? How does he know his story, that of a man who went to hunt white rhinos in Africa and died there? Over rowdy discussions, the characters try to unravel the truth.

Directed and adapted (radio version) by Catherine Boskowitz. Read by Jean Boissery, Marie-Do Féval, Jean-Charles Massera, Natascha Rudolf and Yassim Ait Abdelmalek (student from the École du Nord).
