In the heart of the legendary Marché aux Puces in Saint-Ouen, on the outskirts of Paris, Maud runs a stall selling Art Deco furniture and objects. In this fascinating and cosmopolitan enclave, Maud tries to give her life a new start, supported by her friend Clarisse, the living memory of the neighborhood. Around her, a group of antique dealers and scavengers, poetically known as "moon fishermen," struggle for their dreams amidst bartering and friendship.
This choral novel sensitively portrays the daily life of this unique place, where characters like Sylvain, a young apprentice, Gilles, a restorer of fairground art, and Nicolas, dedicated to restoring historic buildings, intertwine their destinies. It is a story about hope, solidarity, and the search for happiness in the most unexpected corners of the French capital.
