Description

Pierre Roland's life has always been overshadowed by his younger brother Jean. A recent inheritance from an old family friend has changed everything, and Pierre is consumed by jealousy. He struggles to come to terms with his brother's sudden success.

As he walks through the streets of Le Havre, Pierre can't shake off the feeling that something isn't right. Why was he not left a share of the inheritance? His thoughts are filled with anger and resentment towards himself for feeling this way.

This is a deeply personal story about suspicion, jealousy, and family love, one that explores the complexities of human relationships in a vivid and emotionally profound way.
