Between East and West, a people descended from lions celebrates an annual ritual war against the king of the animals. Diotime, a young woman of firm temperament, defies the law that excludes women from the ceremony and ventures into the taboos of fear, desire and female violence.

For readers of contemporary French literature interested in tales with a mythical and symbolic setting.
