Synopsis

An antique dealer, grandfather of an orphan young girl, discovers by chance a curious gold beetle in the base of a statue of angel out of wood, which it is cleaning in his shop. The object all the more intrigues this professional whom it introduces a small serrated roller. Curious to include/understand the function of what does not seem to be that a large jewel in the shape of roller holding perfectly in the palm of hand, the old man (of which the name is " Gray Jesus ") turn with precaution the serrated roller which does not open the beetle but proves to be a winder activating a clockwork… the countdown towards a particular form of " dépendance" is engaged. The beetle does not open, it is not an invaluable and decorative box, but it is nevertheless a Pandora's box to the very sophisticated mechanism.
