On a cold winter day in 1650, René Descartes was buried far from his home. Sixteen years later, the French ambassador secretly exhumed his bones and transported them to France. The story of these unusual relics involves the most diverse characters who used these bones. A historical adventure that illustrates the eternal debate between faith and reason.
