Everything that is not hot will eventually fade away. A book of memories that condenses love and death. A father's painful past before he became a father, a new work by Miriam Barberi, author of "The Elegance of the Hedgehog". Double finalist for the 2022 Goncourt Literary Prize × Gionno Literary Prize. Ueno Haru has been accustomed to seeing falling snow melting on rocks in mountain streams since he was a child. He has always wanted nothing more than the charm of form. With his passion for art, he left the mountains of his hometown and became a well-known art dealer in Kyoto. He lives by and lives for beauty. After partying all night long, he would always return to his house alone. This corner was his harbor and his lair. It wasn't until he was thirty years old that he received the most wonderful revelation of fate - somewhere in France, a little girl was born as a result of his exotic relationship. This existence was sealed by his mother and was not allowed to come near. Even so, his daughter still became his secret, truth, and even the home of his soul. Through the lens of a private photographer, Chun collected every moment of his daughter's life and spent his whole life watching, observing, and accompanying his daughter's growth. Lonely souls crossed the ocean and began to secretly redeem each other.
