Flaubert writes from the hero St Julian the Hospitaller: 'He knew that was hunting in some country since an indefinite time, through the very fact of his existence, as everything seemed to occur with the ease one experiences in dreams.' This film follows this dream and the indeterminacy of time, this action place, particular, we could outline this way: the metamorphosis of a child in a parricide, then from parricide in a saint. This action, Flaubert took it from 'The Golden Legend' and stained glasses in Rouen then made it a tale. The film replays the story and mainly follows Flaubert's text. The images's meaning, the more than musical's film structure, with Flaubert's text, is the one of a free loyalty, a correspondence.
