The story takes place at the end of the 19th century: Léon, his brother Jacques and Jacques's wife travel aboard the Ava bound for Mauritius when two cases of cholera force the passengers to disembark on a nearby island. That forced quarantine, from May 27 to July 7, 1891, changes their lives forever.
