The first published work by renowned artist Nicolas de Crecy is a lyrical and gorgeously illustrated dark tale, and nothing short of a landmark achievement! In order to revive the image of the town of Eccenihilo, a big carnival is organised with a grand finale: the homecoming of the local golden child, the famous opera star and eunuch, Foligatto. The artist's return to his roots, however, triggers a whirlwind series of tragic and eccentric tribulations.
